   Changing the screen resolution didn't help. I did finally manage to get   
   through level 2, but only by playing for 1 minute and pausing for 5   
   minutes and by the end I had a massive headache and felt very sick (I   
   still have the remains of the headache now and it is hours later). I   
   doubt I'll even bother loading that game again.  :-(   
      
   I can't remember if I had the same problem with the demo of the newer   
   Jedi Knight II.   
      
   Hopefully we won't have the same problem when watching the 3D-erised   
   Star Wars movies if and when they arrive.
