I'll try to keep this brief. And many thanks up front for helping with my problem.

Tried 1.6.0 .exe no change.
Tried #beam me - no change
Can still see the GUI.
Can log on to my laptop and play (painful as it is.)
Can still play every other game/program that i have no problem. (NWN 1&2, AoE 3 etc.)
I've checked for driver updates - running current driver
Unistalled/installed both EL and actual vid card and driver.
Set el.ini to poorman.
Did system rollback to a proper working known date.
-also deleted el.cfg file in EL folder
