Hi all.. I'm new to the game. I can't play slingo most of the time because of not being able to see the card... Meaning sometimes 1 or more of the columns is distorted or just dark and can't see the numbers. I don't know if this is a game problem or my computer? Sometime this problem will go away if i zoom away from the card, but usually by then the card is so far away I can barely read it. *sighs* Thoughts, comments, suggestions??

Is it blurry? It could be that it hasn't loaded (rezzed) yet.

Could you give us some information about your computer - what sort of internet connection you have, which graphics card, which CPU and how much RAM.

Nope... this occurs even after I've "rezzed".
Computer info: Cable internet, Pentium 4 cpu 3.00 GHz, 1.00 GB RAM, Video: Integrated ATI RADEON 9200 AGP graphics with 128MB of Memory Buffer

Picture of dark column included. Please note when I can't see my card properly, I also see the same colums messed up on other people's cards.

Integrated ATI RADEON 9200 Is prob your cause, you could try the omega drivers on this page : www.omegadrivers.net

see if that clears it up , remember to completly uninstall every vid drivers before installing this one.

Ctrl-alt-D - brings up debug
then
Ctrl-shift-N : Make it daytime , hard to see with nighttime

Woot! I installed the video driver directly from the ATI website and I can see the slingo card more clearly than I ever could before. I tried the omega driver, but SL wouldn't even load with it. *crosses fingers that it stays that way* Thanks for the help!
