This has been a problem ever since I started playing about 6 months ago, and its getting to be more and more of a nuisance, and I dont know whats wrong.... Basically, the problem is, all the dots and radar circles in my clipboard map are black. So, when I open it, if I see, say a furball, I see a black mass, instead of a garble of green and read. Towns are black dots also, and radar circles are black. This is a real problem since I cant tell whether a dot is an approaching enemy or friendly, so I have to get within 6k of it. At night, stars are also black instead of white- this is particularly annoying, as they look like far-off planes. Unrelated, I also dont have a gear indicator in any vehicle beside the T34 and the M4.

Radeon video card .... you need the 4.12 cat or omega drivers http://www.omegadrivers.net/archive.php (http://www.omegadrivers.net/archive.php)
Radeon Omega Drivers 2.5.97a (Catalyst 4.12) this will fix the black clipboard dots .
-
I will be so glad when they stop building those 9000 series video cards. That video chip is going over 6 years old now. It's from the original Radeon 8500! How they can still sell it as a new product is beyond me.
-
Thanks very much for the info and link. I do, infact, have an ATI Radeon 9200 series graphics card... but I dont know where to put the driver :lol
On a side note, I will soon/eventually be getting a new graphics card. What do you suggest?
-
MMkay...
Got the driver installed.
But...
Cant play Aces High. That and scrolling through webpages is really slow. I get an "error has occured. Send bug report?' message when I try to open AH. I didnt do anything beside install the driver and reset the resolution settings.
What now?
-
did u uninstall old drivers first. if not uninstall all vid drivers and reinstall the new ones.
-
According to Add/Remove Programs, the only driver I have is 2.5.97a.
Or am I supposed to look somewhere else? Sorry, Im not all that tech savvy...
-
thats the correct driver ...
go to start/run type in dxdiag let the direct x program run then clic save
now copy and paste the 1st 1/3rd of that notepad dxdiag file here so we can check out whats happening

see my edited post ..above
Im wondering if you may have something hoging up resources too ???
virous , bug , p2p file sharing , spyware, ect ... hmmm as for you have enough puter to run AH you are just hurting in the video performance department ..
-
The sound card is what came with the computer, which is by no means a gaming computer. Im thinking I may have a virus or two. Ill do a scan in the mornin'.

After restarting my computer, everything runs just as it did.... including my clipboard not working correctly :mad: . According to DxDiag Im still running the 2.5.97a driver.

Card name: RADEON 9200 PRO (Omega 2.5.97a)
Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc. (Omega 2.5.97a)
Chip type: RADEON 9250 (0x5960)
DAC type: Internal DAC(400MHz)
Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5960&SUBSYS_7C271545&REV_01
Display Memory: n/a
from looking at this part ..i see no display memory .
hmmmm
Is this a laptop ? or a onboard video ?? (Video is built into the mainboard and not on a seperate card )
-
Its a desktop...
How would I go about checking if its an onboard video?
-
onboard video always has a monitor connector just under the mouse/kb plugs on that panel.
a seperate video card will have the monitor connection lower on the case in the expansion slots .
-
The moniter connector is down at the bottom of the case. Not on the mouse/keyboard panel.
-
This is the part that would worry me....

I think that says that because he hasnt ran all the tests in dxdiag .
The
Display Memory: n/a
has got to be linked to his problem i think . now this maybe a setting in the bios thats not correct ... or something else .
Are you familier with Computer Bios/cmos Motherland ???
-
There were two versions of the 2.5.97a driver on the link you gave me, 2.5.97a (the one I downloaded) and 2.5.97a Beta. 'Beta Versions' are ones that are still in development, right?
No, Im not familiar with CP Bios....
