try both and check the framerates... i find opengl is faster and screenshots are quicker

open gl runs better withe me to but, if i go during the game to the desktop and return i have to set the contrast/brightness again.

While in the option screen the slides are still to the right???

In D3D thats no problem

i never see that. it should be in the persistent symbols file.
add it to the default startup and it will be permanent.
