I am experiencing a D3d problem now since I installed DX8.1, which I did for EverQuest SOL. When I start W&W the screen flickers and is all messed up but i can see enough to click on Start, then I get to the Town and the same problem, all glitchy. If I set it to Software mode, it works fine, but I refuse to play in software mode [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Any suggestions! I can try removing 8.1 with DirectX Buster found at http://www.directxbuster.de/index_e.html which works well. And then re-install 7 and see if that works. Also I think I had this problem early on when I first installed the game and ended up removing W&W and saving my Save-game file and then re-installing W&W and it worked, it fixed the D3D issue, but that was when I had DirectX 7 or 8.0a.
My system is a P3 667 with 512MB RAM, Voodoo5 AGP, Cable Modem, yada yada, etc., etc.

Thanks for your help in advance

Hi DS!!

DirectX 7 should solve your problems but if not - repost this to Saz' Techie Help Desk thread.

I don't know... but it might be worth a try to slow down the graphics acceleration one notch (right click on the desktop/properties/preferences/advanced/prestanda/pull down the graphics slider/ (I hope the references are accurate.. but I'm running a non-Enlish version of Win98)

Anyway, in some 3D-games it has helped me to get rid of some artifact graphics.
