My friend's having a problem playing games and doesn't know what it is. Here's everything he's told me.
Any idea what's wrong with his system? If you need more info, just tell me and I'll ask him.
Ok, here’s the deal. Basically, Star Wars Galaxies and various others games give me a black screen most of the time. When they do show me something, I get a bunch of rainbow graphical distortions but no actual picture.
Morrowind seems to run fine. No problems at all as far as I can tell. I was getting small distortions, in the form of warped polygons stretching across the screen. Conversation were tending to start, but then I couldn’t leave or talk at all, no goodbye button, and escape only made the window go off and on.
I have uninstalled and reinstall multiple drivers. I have about 6 sets of omega drivers on my computer, and I have tried using the very latest official ones. All of this with no change except for the Morrowind problem being solved. I have used regcleaner after I uninstall and before I reinstall drivers. I also check for spare ati files. None of this has helped with the problem.
My specs: P3 850, Radeon 8500 64MB, 448 SDRAM, yamaha ds-xg legacy sound card (out of production yes, but I can't afford everything) old mother board from an xps t500 model.
