Hi Geoff, my Win 7 updates work well and I don't think that GRUB has something to do with it. Well, I did try Rembrandt once and it worked, so I assume that your card can handle it as well. Don't let the product number fool you; the 2600XT is better than mine (albeit not being ATI's best card,

It would probably make things a lot simpler for the average user if FGFS included a wizard that automatically identified which combinations of features would be usable on a specific installation. Using that result as constraining logic in the menus would allow unusable features to be kept
