More Issues with Giant Rectangles in Game *DxDiag in later post*

A little while back I posted a thread with pictures like these, asking for help:

[IMG]http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag17/Missbitsy11/Screenshot-374.jpg "width=370"[/IMG]

So then I tried it again, on a different account, with no CC what-so-ever- no mods, no clothes, nothing. This was the result:

Less major, but still a problem. I'm afraid it might have something to do with the graphics card (which makes no sense, my computer is brand new, and a few months ago it worked perfectly.). If this is the case, that's not good, because I can't afford a new graphics card right now. If you have any solutions, any at all, please help! I'm an absolute idiot when it comes to computers. :oops:

    Could you please post a dxdiag? Instructions are in the "How to post in the technical forums" sticky.

    Your graphics card driver is 2.5 years out of date. I'd start by updating that. Go directly to AMD's website as they'll have the latest.

    ...Oh dear god. I've had this one longer than I thought.
    As someone who does not speak computer,these are the cheapest ones I saw on the front page. Are either of them OK? http://shop.amd.com/us/All/Detail/GraphicCard/R6450-MD1GD3!2FLP?SearchFacets=category:Graphic Card

    Sorry to keep asking you stuff like this. I'm on a rather low budget right now.

    No, your graphics card DRIVER, not the card itself :) Drivers can be downloaded from here: http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx
    Sorry, I realize I was not very specific in my last post!
    Your card itself is integrated so you would definitely get better performance if you bought a dedicated graphics card but that may not be necessary just yet (although you could start saving up now!)

    Driver hasn't been updated since 5/11/2010 is what she is saying. You need to update the graphics driver.

    Enter your graphics card's model in the "Download Drivers" options and it will bring you to your card's specific driver download.

    Wait for what? To buy a new card? Because you're unsure how to update your drivers? That's like saying, 'dang, my front door just fell off, I better go get a new house'.

    If a totally technologically inept idiot such as myself can learn how to do this stuff, certainly you can. Don't let it scare you, plenty of nice people around who will walk you through it - and they are trying.

    By the way, my previous graphics card was giving me the same results because it was dying. So while a new card may be in order, you should try to update the drivers on this one first to rule that out.

    Best of luck. :)

    Hi,

    For reference, the spec sheet for the HP Pavilion p6774y desktop PC can be found on the Hewlett-Packard website at the following page:

    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02629593&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=5049534

    If you are uncertain about updating the video chipset drivers on your own, you can try out the driver auto-detect utility from the AMD website at the following link:

    http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/auto_detect.aspx

    Another option you may wish to consider is to contact Hewlett-Packard support and have them walk you through the driver update process step-by-step. If the graphics issue persists after having updated the video drivers, another thing to try is to reset the video driver settings back to their factory defaults before relaunching the game.
