Hello all, I joined the forum just to ask this question, really, so here it goes.

I'm running a 64-bit Vista Home Premium, with an nVidia GeForce GT 220, I just installed new drivers today, in hopes that it would fix the problem, but it didn't.

I already tried turning off all modules, with no effect. Here's a screenshot:

Any advice would be helpful.

It looks a bit like a bug in your driver's blitting implementation. It appears to ignore the source rectangle position, and always uses (0,0) instead.

That is odd -- I've never seen that before. Does it happen in windowed mode as well, or just full-screen? Also, is it using a T&L video mode?

How does it look in the external and virtual cockpit views? Are those views messed up as well?

EDIT:
One more question: from where did you download your video driver? Please be sure to get the latest GT 220 driver from nvidia's site here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Thanks for the fast replies. Yes I it is T&L, yes it happens in window mode, everything else looks the same as it did in my (now deceased) XP system.

@Martins: how could that be, if it was a bug in the previous driver, why wouldn't installing an updated driver fix it?

He only said that it looks like your current driver has this bug.
