Lines and prisms of all shapes jumping on the screen.

[Pyves Lavendel]

I have just bought a new laptop

Studio 1555 : Pentium Dual Core T4300(2.1GHz,800MHz,1MB)

Graphics : 512 MB ATI Mobility RADEON HD 4570

All kinds of lines and prisms keep appearing on the screen all the time.

Would anybody know how to get rid of them?

thats an opengl bug from ati

Upgrade your driver or turn of opengl in the viewer (preferences -> graphics -> hardware options)

I'm running a HD4850 and had the same issue untill recent driver update, before then i just turned of opengl.

 

Hope that solved your problem!

Had the same problem. It has something to do with the dualcore.

In preferences-graphics-hardware settings I have now: Filtering....uncrossed

                                                                              Antialiasing....disabled

                                                                              Gamma....o (zero)

                                                                              Enable VBO....uncrossed

Apply, and try again. Mine works fine now

VBO = OpenGL

Intresting it has something to do with dualcore while an ati driver update can fix it, just not sure if there is an update available for mobile systems apart from windows 7.

Not sure it's dual-core as I have I7 and dual 4870x2 & Vista 64-bit with the same problem. Even with latest video drivers I have to disable VBO. My gut feeling is ATI doesn't care about OpenGL as much as DirectX and puts their efforts there, to support gaming.

[Pyves Lavendel]

I followed somebody's advice,and turned off openGL.

Now everything is fine.

thank you Twistit Saiman.
