Graphics Bug

[Lieva]

Got an odd graphics bug where little squares appear round my toons feet.
Tried windows update re drivers but not Nvidia as i prefer til microsoft guarantee them

settings are

Graphics = Nvidia Geforce4 Ti
Opp = Windows XP
Proc = Pentium 4 1.9 GHZ
Ram = 1GB

my other computer works fine

settings are

Graphics = Sapphire Radeon X300SE 128MB (default card)
Opp = Windows XP
Proc = Pentium 2.9
Ram = 512 MB

As you can see besides the processing speed and the graphics card both computers are very similar so im unsure what could be causing the problem?

/edit

also is there an easier way of finding your graphics card? Nvidia bounces at you where as the radeon - i found through the options in DaoC ! Tried the screensaver thing - only get a bunch of ATI options..
sure the hardware options only tells you about my VDU also...

I would suggest using the latest drivers from nvidia, ignore the "not certified by MS" thingy, tis all poop anyway.

There was a third party group that had some accelerated drivers - Omega I think they were, but the X300 is pretty new'ish, I dont know if they support it yet.

Also dont put too much faith in MS products/certification this is the same people that that gave us IE...........<nuff said>

You could used DXDiag.exe to check your system it will give information about gfx cards and drivers (From start menu select run and type DXDiag).

I have had a problem with some faces resently they produced large triangles but after I did a full file check they seem to have gone so it looks like I hade a corrupt file. Details of doing a full file check can be found here http://daoc.goa.com/news/view_news.php3?id_article=3155
