    I know nothing about computers. It took me an hour to figure out how to post this picture. What is causing this? I have a Radeon X1650 Series, which is 'unsupported' but I've that that it CAN work, but with low performance.

    This used to happen to D2 and SC2 sometimes and I could tab out and go back in, fixing the problem.

    Any idea? I already updated the drivers.

    Yes, I tried all the different resolutions and windows/full/fullwindow. I have all settings on their lowest.

    Hi

    What Windows version and Service Pack are you using?

    A few quick things I would try are:

    1. Run the game with a lower screen resolution and see if that works.
    2. Run the game in Windowed mode and see if that works. To run in Windowed mode right click the shortcut to the game and choose properties then in the Target box go to the end of the text in their and add a space after the " mark and then -w then close the properties box and run the game again.

    this is the area of the Properties and Target box to use.

    Windows Vista Home
    Service Pack 2

    Will try to run Windowed that way now.

    And thanks for the help!

    Edit: post is waiting for mod approval. It didn't work though.

    Hi

    Thats a pity, but I would try and next uninstall the current Radeon driver and install an older version as in say 10.3 as some with similar issues to you have stated that the older drivers work for them, while this is anecdotal it may work.

    Older Catalyst drivers HERE
