Hello everyone,
I was hoping someone would recognize this and be able to help. I have this weird buggy graphic glitch while playing. it happens as i rotate camera or moving around.
I get these blue fields that block my sight. The one showing in the picture... is just a minor one. Sometimes I can't see anything anymore.
It gets fixed (for a few mins) when zoning to another area...
Or reselecting char, but I have to press esc, and hope to click select char, cus I can't see the menu when it happens...
It's really not fun playing like this, I can't join parties cus I'm unreliable like this. And I lose like 5mins every 5mins of playing..

1 thing you should know that might have something to do with it tho... I cleaned up my pc to install this game, cuz he was practically full. And I did delete some files in my windows folder, but i followed a guide on how to clean up that folder... So shouldn't have done anything wrong but just putting it out there. Also, I have played other games on this PC since I did that and they don't seem to have any problems.

Thank you.
The driver date in the upper right hand corner has a date of 2004. the latest drivers are from 2006. So I think this may be the cause for the problem. Drivers for your video card specifically are available from the official Nvidia website here:

This is a link to the English UK download.
In response to your pc maintenance, If you removed something from the prefetch or temp folder it should be fine.

mijnaamisam is using a GeForce4 MX 440 videocard.
mijnaamisam is using windows Xp
mijnaamisam has Direct x 9.0 c installed
mijnaamisam appears to meet the system requirements
Screenshots of the Direct X diagnostic tool display tab indicates the driver is over 2 years old and antiquated. The installation date is listed as 2004. The most recent driver is from 2006.
Provided link to official Nvidia website for the English Uk driver download.
(updated from the Usa download)
mijnaamisam downloaded and installed he latest driver package via the international driver package.

O_o not to worry you or anything, but I got a lot of graphic glitches like these right before the beads on my graphics card busted. o_e; Its probably not that, but might want to check just in case.
