I went into the bios to disable the HPET but the option didn't exist. I figured I might have made a mistake disabling it in the device mgr so I went back in and re-enabled it, then rebooted into bios again but the option doesn't exist still anywhere in the BIOS.

I was getting a message "unable to load directxupdatemanager.dll" at windows startup, and Alleg won't generate me a key.

Between then and now the only thing I mucked with was re-installing dirext from the microsoft website's distributable.

Not sure what to do at this point, I tried to message you but I don't know your main :P

I am not ignorant of the rules of the helpline, and I can post more system info if required but this specific scenario may not warrant it at this time.

I'm not sure... are you asking for help or not? Your message bounces around a bit. :P

If yes, then yeah, you should post up the info found in the template in the READ ME FIRST post.

I am asking for help from a certain individual that was helping me in-game. I can't reach him atm because I am unable to login. I'm sure I could reverse all these changes and reinstall and everything would be 'just fine' but he is helping me with a workaround for the graphics problem and I don't even understand half of what I've done in the last hour or so.

Check out my spoiler.

WTF is that?! Maleware or that isn't the correct error message.
