Had nothing to do with Firewalls!!! Ran dsl direct with virus off and not through router. I Uninstalled the game that I had been using for 3 years before this last update and did a reinstall. Now all works. I saved my old settings in a sepearate file away from HTC folder before the Uninstall. Then after had it back put the settings folder I made into the new downloaded one so didn't have to reset all the controls. The glitchy has something to do with registration or .exe file??? Got tired of waitn for a fix so tried the dump and it worked.
