Same for me, bios 1.1005, W2K SP1 + SGI SSK.

Don't forget to remove the mouse shadow (Control Panel -> Mouse -> Disable 
shadow)

Ooops sorry too, yes I meant *images* in that sense (not 3D renderings).

Thanks, I'll check that ASAP and keep you posted (and write a FAQ most 
probably).
I guess applying 5.2.1 on 5.2.3 will do the trick :

Humm... no, I'm unable to switch back to 5.2.1 by applying 5.2.1 on 5.2.3. 
I tried two times, reboot, etc. What's the trick ?

I you have 5 minutes, please check the audio driver :) After applying the 
SSK, they ran smoothly, then suddenly stopped working after 5 minutes or 
so. I had to reinstall the SSK. And it happened once again. etc. etc. :(
