I should have read that FAQ first. But I didn't know what I was facing is called 'stutter'.
After reinstalled Windows as a last ditch (and failed), at last I found out that 'dial-up status icon' on systray(taskbar) makes the stutter.
To check that, I have forced explorer(the windows shell) to restart. (familir 'explorer crash') and new task bar with no dial-up status, AH worked just fine. very fine.
... Why that Icon does not go off even I 'uncheck' the 'status icon' option on the connection setup?
Everytime I play AH, I do CTRL-ALT-DEL, then select Explorer to stop.
Is there any other way that I can remove the 'modem-status icon' from systray?
... oh. and one more, why that small little green light on and off icon... never made a stutter before, but now, with DX8, it makes so terrible stutters ... why!!
Any help/comment would be very helpful! thanks.
