Yes it's a driver problem (most likely - 95% of time). Update the driver of your video card. Also, you may want to read this thread: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=7444

I suspect that Gunsmif isn't using a laptop, in another thread he stated he had an average windows PC running XP, in which case the link to the driver modding thread won't help.

Gunsmif, you need to update your graphics drivers to the latest version.

For ATI drivers, you will find them at http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

For NVIDIA drivers, go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index5.aspx?lang=en-us

For Intel drivers (shudder) go to http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx

If you're not sure about finding out what kind of graphics chip your PC uses, just Click on Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Information. When the System Information window appears, it will take 30-60 seconds to load the info. Once it's ready, click on the + sign next to 'Components', then click on the word 'Display'.

You should see something like this. I've highlighted the area on the right in red where your graphics adapter make/model will be shown.

Well, we're not known as "The friendliest board this side of Riedquat™ for nothing! :D

I take it that your "happy man" remark means eveything is working correctly now? :lol: 8)
