Well besides:
Progress I guess. It's populating the list of programs in the Add/Remove programs section that it wasn't before.
There hasn't been any noticeable improvement. I'll try to see how M2 runs after I funkyinstall it. The problem with NWN causing 100% cpu usage with severely reduced frames per second is troubling. I may know more after upgrading my graphics card eventually. I take it an NVIDIA 440 (something like that) isn’t great. Hopefully one of the cards recommended on the NWN2 site will do the trick.
