Did you install a new mouse? I had this problem a while back and it was the software for the mouse. I uninstalled that software and just let XP run the mouse, problem fixed.

Hope that helps.

What video card do you have, looks like you have a Nvidea card right?

Go into your preferences and in your openGL settings turn off the AA and see how that works.

h4zel

HI Solo , i try yur suggestion and off the open Gl accelerator
The distorted stop.. but whenever i turn the view. the screen froze and
everything is very very slow.
Any other solution. with open Gl maintain.
grafic card : nvidia Gforce 8500 GT

Did you try turning of anti aliasing or did you just turn of 'hardware acceleration'?

If the latter, try the former.

h4zel

hmm.. i try turn off hardware acceleration.. no distorted but it to jumpy to draw.

using OPen Gl hardware acceleration 16x True color Medium 0x anti-alias

problem still occur.. blur whenever i used a commands except Paint

Do you have updated drivers? as this looks exactly like the problem I had two years ago when they first launched the 8800 gtx card and I had to wait for months until updated drivers were available.

h4zel

Hmm. i downloading the driver now.. 112mb .>.<" will take awhile..
will keep update if it work.. thx again solos

Hello all,
Anyone running an Nvidia GeForce 8700MGT with hardware acceleration enabled ?

I searched and found that an older driver for the 8800 allows for HA, but no such driver for the 8700.

EDIT:
Well for those interested....looks like I may have solved/answered my own question.
Seems I had a combination of option settings selected that were causing me grief.

In the Nvidia control panel I needed to have the image setting set to
Let 3D app Decide

And in SU preferences....Open GL....Capabilities....use an option with
Anti Alias set to 0x

SLI Enabled/Disabled does not seem to make a difference.

Above settings are with Dell driver 176.78_Dec21_2008

TIA.....
best,
Charlie

Specs:
Dell
XPS M1730, Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000(2.8GHz, 800Mhz 6M L2 Cache)

Hi h4zel

Forceware version 169.21 should certainly work out for you. Google search for this and you'll get the download. I had this same problem with my 8600GT & 8800GT cards in my home & office computers respectively. The problem disappeared after I installed this older version of drivers (Windows XP).

Hope this helps.

With best regards
