Igor Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I suppose your video card or maybe current drivers or settings don't support full hardware 3D acceleration. Please wait for the final v5.00 when PTE will support all configurations of PCs and use v4.48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conflow Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Paula,After you physically 'installed' your New Video Card ~ What did you do next ?Windows would 'advise' that it has found New hardware and would offer to install Drivers for this Hardware. If you choose this option Windows has selected Generic Drivers it considers best suited to your Card, but that only works if Windows has a complete and up-to-date Library of Card Drivers ~ I suspect it hasn't ?You should always 'install' the Drivers from the CD-Installation Disc that came with the Video Card. I suspect that you have a Driver conflict because Windows has defaulted to a 'Small Screen Display' which is typical when it encounters something it can't resolve.Hope this points you in the right direction...Brian.Conflow.

A Guru has sorted the problem out, and indeed the wrong drivers were on the machine. He installed the right ones and hey presto, PTE is working perfect again. What a relief!
