    Hole appear in characters and line come out of objects!

    Hello:) i am back and with another problem!:eek: I recently did what you said and updated my graphics card and added on 1gb of RAM so now i have 1.5 GB of RAm. Now i have Geforce 7300 GT. My game is faster and doesnt freeze anymore but now when i play it, holes appear in characters and random lines come out of all objects. So i went to check the Nvidia 3D display, the same thing had happened to it. I've tried restarting my computer and everything but nothing works. :( help please.

    When you say update your graphics card, you mean you put a new one in your computer right? If that is the case then I believe you need to find the latest drivers for your graphics card. That should fix you up.

    I tried that just now and i went onto the Nvidia website and there was only one update. So i downloaded it and installed it but it didn't work.:( Any more suggestions?:(

    Hmmm...could be a faulty card out of the box...Maybe due to overheating?

    Here are your drivers:

    If you are running Vista (32-bit) as your OS then use http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_169.25_whql.html

    If you are running XP as your OS, then use http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_169.21_whql.html

    After installing 1 of those drivers (make sure you pick the right OS) and the problem still persists, it could be the graphics card crapping out on you. I am more of a software guy, so I cannot be much help on that. It could be either the card is overheating (which if it does have a fan on the card, isn't working). If you are hardware savvy, then you might can put another one, not too sure...

    Or you can check your video card's receipt/webpage to see if it is under warranty from the time you bought it so you can exchange it.

    Last, you might have to pick up another new graphics card.

    Before you do, double check with whatever other games that are 3D on your computer to see if you have any of the same symptoms.
