What is the make and model of the card?

 

As for drivers can not recamend any if we do not know the make sorry.

I have the same problem. I have an ATI Radeon 7200 series card. Just installed the latest drivers and still no change. I tried changing the refresh rate and it didn't make a differance. It's very anoying.

Well first suggetion is to change video cards.

 

But to get you thru now, you need to turn doawn the Hardware Accelaration for the video.

 

You will find this under Video settings Advanced then go to Trouble shooting.

 

Try by turning down say three notichs then more if needed.

[stanfield]

tried the decrease in accelerator and it worked!

thanks

Still no good for me. Guess I'm shopping for a new card. Decreasing the acceleration only made the system perform poorly. I have 32 meg video memory on the ATI Radeon 7200 card with the latest Catalyst drivers in a 1.4ghz P4 with 512mb ram. Sounds like enough horse power ?

Well as the rest go that is not bad,but the video is no good at all for MC.

 

Please look in to either a Qoudro FX 500 or highr or at least a Gforce FX say 5700 or higher.

 

I have used the FX 5200,5600,5700 & the 5950 with good luck.

But do suggest the higher ones.

Before you change video cards, try downloading these files and unzip them into the main Mcam9 folder. In some cases, OpenGL Problems can be solved by copying opengl32.dll and glu32.dll into your MCAM9 folder. We have seen cases where copying these files into the MCAM9 directory will solve shading, smearing and crashing problems. If you attempt this and it doesn't solve the problem or makes it worse, then simply remove the files for the MCAM9 directory, the system will default back to using the opengl32 and glu32 in the Windows diredtory.

Good luck

under screen/configure/screen, deselect open GL

 

it also fixes ghost entities and eliminates the need to repaint all the time

 

The card should be powerful enough to handle most ops without hardware acceleration

[mcpgmr]

I'll give it a try. Thanks !

[mcpgmr]

Worked like a charm ! Thanks ! No need to buy a video card now.
