Trees and lights have black boxes around them

[Don D.]

Hey all... New guy here!
I just installed FS2002 and I am getting black boxes around trees, lights, some buildings, as well as some sections of terrain is multicolored (as in rainbow colors).  I am also having system crashes where I get the screen that asks me if I want to report the error to Microsoft as well as complete system reboots.

I have turned things off in my system tray, set my color to 32 bit, completely de installed software.  Defragged my drive and reinstalled the software.

My system: AMD k7, 700 mhz, 256 meg memory, running Win2K pro.

(FYI, I installed this on a DEL 733 with 256 mem, Win2kpr0 and it works fine, so I suspect the software is fine, no corruption.)

Having seen some of the screenshots these guys have posted, those could be THEIR "black boxes"!  lol

Hi Don...!
What are the graphics board details on your own machine?
The rest of your spec looks fine...!

what video card do you have? I was having the same problem until I re-installed older Det4 nvidia drivers. if you do have a geforce card, I suggest the 40.72 drivers.

i installed the new nvidia det drivers and was having those same exact problems, nothing would work except installing earlier drivers. i have a geforce 4 ti4600 and the new nvidia drivers seem to be made and tested mainly for the geforce fx cards.

if you don't have a geforce card, sorry

Thats the one part of my system I cannot remember the details on.  I'll pull it tonight and see if I can figure out what it is.

Your suspicions are probably correct...   Don

Awesome!
Thanks Paul,  I did not now about that command.  I just did it here on my work computer.  Beats pulling out my screw driver!
