    Graphics Corruption

    I got a new computer Intel Duo Core 2.6, 1 Gig of Ram, and I'm not quite sure of the video card.
    I've had issues when I install the game, that when I mouse over the sims houses the screen blinks and the houses get fuzzy. WHen i actually go into the houses, the sims themselves are fuzzy. I was playing the Seasons xpack just just fine, as long as I stayed in the Riverblossom neighborhood. However when I installed Bon Voyage, I ran into the same problem. I had emailed EA on this before and they weren't much help. Any fresh ideas?

    If you are not sure about your video card, then chances are you haven't updated your drivers. That might just fix your problem. To check your graphics card do this:

    Go to the START MENU and select RUN, then type DXDIAG in the prompt box. Click the DISPLAY tab and under the Device box, it should tell you what card you have.

    Check the Manufacture, google their name to find their official website and then check out their downloads. Usually you can find your graphics card in a list and it will download the latest drivers.

    Hope that helps,
