I was pretty hesitant about installing them in order to play "Dark Reign," as I have been providing support for Thinkpads for over three years and know how finicky their video hardware has been in the past, but all went smoothly. Saying yes to overwriting the drivers is fine. One positive side effect of installing Trident's own drivers is that you can modify quite a bit more (like scan rate) directly from the Display Control Panel vs. having to deal with the abomination that is "Thinkpad Features." --- Gregg Ginsberg executiveONE R&D MCI Telecommunications Phone: 202-887-3045, v220-3045 Gregg.Ginsberg@MCI.Com
