Problem with any game I try to play
« on: December 25, 2005, 01:27:51 PM »
Running XP PROF. PENT 4. 3.20 ghz. 1 GB RAM


I am having the same problem with all games. The games load up OK but immediately I start playinng the screen flickers. It goes black for about a second, and then the game returns. With GTA this happens about every thirty seconds, which is naturally affecting my driving. With Call of Duty it happens every ten seconds  which makes the game impossible to play.

Any ideas?

Install correct videocard drivers.

Raptor. If I can just indulge you? How do I find out what videocard driver is correct, and once I know that, where do I get it from?

    Download the EVEREST Ultimate Edition 2006 trial to find out your details.
    http://www.lavalys.com/

    *Edit*
    It will/should give you a link for your drivers too.

    Or try this cool site I just visited.

        Must be ActiveX.

        If people don't know how to handle drivers, they're sure as *censored* not going to know how to handle their web browser.  :)

          Yes, there is surely a lot of people missing out on the full splendor of the internet browsing experience.
          Browsing with lynx was never much fun.
