Neighborhood flashing red (solved)

<< < (4/4)

jsalemi:
It's normal -- if Windows can't find updated drivers for a piece of hardware, it defaults to its built-in drivers, which are usually somewhat generic.  Otherwise it wouldn't be able to talk to the device at all, and the video is a pretty important device to talk to. :)

PlayLives:
Okay thanks.
I'm trying one last thing... can I have the ATI control panel (from a previous driver version) installed together with an updated driver? I like the old panel better than the ATI Control Center.

jsalemi:
Yea, but better is the ATI Tray Tools: http://www.guru3d.com/article/atitraytools/189/  -- they give you everything the control center does without the overhead.

PlayLives:
Thanks jsalemi, I was looking at that earlier. *bookmarked*

Okay, you guys ready to shout for joy with me...

After 3 friggen days, it turns out my driver wasn't the issue at all. I restored my old driver and uninstalled every EP.
Of course while uninstalling a saw a Lighting file that was renamed Lighting-maxis...hmm... was this the darn culprit??? >:(
Anyway, deleted that, reinstalled each EP, checking the neighborhood view after each load. All is good now. *insert faint emoticon*

Thanks everyone for all the help and ideas. Now I'm an expert on driver installation and learned what anti-aliasing is. ::)

Now, I can get in line with the rest of the BV "why the heck did EA screw it up again" parade. :P
