    Video Card drivers problem?

    Yesterday I updated my drivers for my Nvidia GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU (It came with my PC when I got it back in 2000~1, I can't remember exactly.) It makes random parts of characters dissapear, sometimes it'll just be a floating head and hands, or I've even had a few characters appear as only parts of equipment (the armored plates on a kirin's osode, or even just the feather on a warlock's chapeu.). I uninstalled the drivers, which then puts me in the predicament that I can't run my 19inch wide screen monitor at the 1440x900 resolution to keep everything correctly proportioned. But upon resintalling them, I've had the problem again. I don't know what to do now. Q_Q;

    Edit: Also felt I should mention it that WG isn't the only source of problems, happened in Sky when my LS was fighting Suzaku.. all I saw was the feathers long the giant bird's back and tail. '-';

    this could be due to a number of factors

    system temperature (the temperature inside your computer case)
    videocard gpu/ram temperatures
    flaky/corrupted videocard drivers
    corrupted directx files

    ultimately, it's most likely either due to an overheating problem, or driver/system files in relation to video that aren't functioning properly

    The card itself could also be not seated properly in its slot. Unlikely, but something to explore.

    or it's because he's galka. But really, it's probably a driver issue since you didn't get this before you updated. Try uninstalling the driver completely and re-installing again, or using the old driver you were previously using or get a real graphic card

    Well I uninstalled the updated drivers, but now I can't get my display back to 1440x900 resolution, and if I "unlock" other resolutions the closest I can get is a 1600x900 resoltion. It looks the best but everything is a bit.. smaller. I guess I'll just have to get used to that if this works out. '-';
