NVidia graphics card comparison: 8800 GTX vs FX 3500
-
Really strange, I don't have an answer for you, but IIRC there was someone here that had the same problem not too long ago. As a matter of interest, are you using a Logitech mouse? Some models have been known to cause problems with SU.

No Juju, I use a microsoft intellimouse optical. I believe there may be a new driver for my graphics card still at beta stage but am not convinced the graphics card is the culprit.
-
I just realised you and I both use the same theme on XP.
I see you're using the 8800 GT. I've heard of some people experiencing problems using it with SU. Have you tried an older driver, from say about 3 months or so ago?
Also, using the nVidia control panel, there are a number of settings that can be tweaked. I had a number of screen captures of what it should look like (or rather what works well) but I can't put my hands on it right now. I'll see if I can find them.

thanks Juju, I will look at drivers, the one I am using is probably older than 3 mths. I generally set my color quality to 16 bit and everything is fine as a work around, would be nice not to have to.
-
I thought this was an issue with a new driver. OK, you could also try updating the driver to the latest. Sometimes troubleshooting is a bit of a hit and miss business.

Just to let you know I have resolved this issue by the age old method of experimentation. It turned out to be in the anti alias setting in the openGL capabilities window. I went through the four options (see screenshot) and the problem persisted until I got to the first on the list (no.16), on selecting this choice the problem went away. I have updated the driver as well and so far have encountered no further issues. will keep my fingers crossed.
Just as an aside I am new to groups, although I have set up a profile with a photo it doesnt show up. whats up with that.
Thanks for your help... -
