Switching my Radeon card back to it's standard setting instead of the OpenGL seems to have corrected the problem. Again, the "optimal" settings suggested by e-frontiers' manual leaves something to be desired. I might add that they mention ATI Radeon's by name in the manual...so much for trusting software manufacturers in regards to hardware settings. Thanks for all the help. If anyone else runs into a similar issue, please let them know to just reset their graphics accelerator card back to it's normal setting and forget the OpenGL crap.
