I had this same problem about a week ago, after I updated my video driver.

He also might see black tracers, and other black colors.  

Yup, black colors are a typical problem when a ATI 92XX card is running with newer drivers.

To get the proper driver, go to http://www.omegadrivers.net
Click on ATI Radeon, then Archive. Look int he list for Radeon Omega Drivers 2.5.97a (Catalyst 4.12] - that's the driver you want to install.

But be sure to uninstall the current driver.  

9200's are very low end... I would know, having one myself.

Have him install that and everything should be fine
:aok

Yup, he's right, get the 4.12 installed, make sure you remove old drivers.

Thanks OOgly. Just asked him about the black tracers, says he's seeing those as well. Will give the new drivers a go.

Do ATI drivers uninstall like Nvidea drivers? Just wondering in case he needs help.
