(I hope this is the right place to post this!...) This problem  seems to happen when I zoom inwards or look around. It doesn't always happen and sometimes it's worse than other times; sometimes it's the whole screen like that and sometimes it's just a hair or something. Specs of my computer are: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz 2.99GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM, RADEON X300 Series (If you need more information, please let me know.) I've asked quite a few people about this and noone seems to know about it. Anyone here have any ideas? Cheers! Milli. xxx |

Your link is broken but I'd love to see it, because I think I have the same problem and haven't been brave enough to ask for help. I mean how the heck do you describe such a weird intermittent phenomenon.

Perhaps in the Adv. Graphics settings (or wherever it is), try disabling AGP? Or try toggling AGP off then on again.
Or if avatar vertex program is on, try turning it off.
In the past I had some rare, odd polygon problems a little like that, but usually with mostly anything onscreen, and toggling AGP would fix it. (With a Radeon 9800 XT. More adequate cooling may be helping though, my last fan was failing.)

From: Ashrilyn Hayashida Perhaps in the Adv. Graphics settings (or wherever it is), try disabling AGP? This worked for me or at least it seems to be working so far. I tested it by donning a wig which ALWAYS spikes out filling half the screen. Then unticked AGP and the wig returned to normal. So far nothing else on my screen has gone all spikey. fingers crossed. I'm still muting random strangers though. Chellonia Regent |

that happened to me with my old ati card and having agp toggled on, AND logged in with more than one avatar.  I havent tried to see if that's happening with my new NVIDIA graphics card, I should give it a whirl.

I had this issue and two things (dunno if they're related) seemed to help:
1. Installed a new heatsinc and fan
2. Checked VBO in graphics. I (touch wood) haven't seen spikes since.
