"blinking" Problem with new Radeon 9830

Yes, I always remove drivers before installing a card, that is pretty much standard procedure for installing that type of device.

Only asking because I do not know you, and I had run into a similar problem before on a friend's computer. Their in game "blinking" was caused by multiple drivers. They never properly uninstalled the others. I had an odd problem that was similar that I was able to fix by lowering the smooth edges settings. Strangely, smooth edges set on high also cause several maxis objects to be transparent on my machine, as well as a kind of "blinking", the base game cheap crib's bedding, and NL's Dj booth. I have a RadeonHD3870.

Ah ha! I've been meaning to suss out that problem. I removed a whole lot of nursery recolours but hadn't gone any further. I've just bought and installed an HD4870. I don't get the blinking but I've had transparent crib bedding, plants and other miscellaneous bits.

That was the other thing I noticed, the plants. Glad I could help someone. This caused me great aggravation. I removed all nursery items, then everything in downloads(by batches), then everything stashed in Bins, I finally uninstalled everything, became pissy when I realized that I had deleted some of the isos after install, instead of moving them over to my external first. Managed to get everything reinstalled. Everything works, I go back to adding in the bins folder and adjusting my settings, then Lo! I discover my issue was a graphics setting. Mouth agape head meets desk over and over.

Well I didn't go with a in-depth removal of the previous nvdia driver, just un-installed it. But before trying an earlier version of the Radeon driver, I did a more thorough job, uninstalled, removed the inf and the registry keys. So I'm probably fine.
Which driver was your friend upgrading from?
