Hi,
I have a problem but I'm not sure where it's coming from. Everytime I try to play a game the screen come up all garbled and all these lines appear. I have tried reinstallin my video card driver, and also reformatting and then installing everything, still have the same problem with my games. This happens to ALL my games not just one, could someone help me out?

Grant, that was a good suggestion as I was about to make before reading your reply.

A good AGP ATI or nVidia graphics card should do the trick.

Mobos that have intel "extreme" rpaphics have no agp slot...Get a new mobo, then wait till may to get a new videocrad...Supposedly the 9600 pro will run about 100....

Try setting BIOS to max out base video memory. (16MB)

From Intel board specs- D865gbf
You have Exterme Graphics 2 This allocates video memory based on system resources.
This board does have an AGP 3.0 slot

From White paper: Extreme Graphics 2
64 MB is the maximum shared memory size.
32 MB is a fixed reply from Direct x polling.

Good luck

I have updated direct x to 9.1b, but Halo still has the fuzzy lines, My NFS underground and CS work. I have a Intel mobo that has an open agp slot, but I have once last question. On my motherboard it says "Intel desktop board D865GBF/D865PERC, so I'm wondering if I got the wrong drivers. I went to the Intel website, but they don't have a D865GBF/D865PERC motherboard so I'm wonderin.....

You'll want the PRO Network LAN driver for sure. You should install the INF chipset update utility first to make sure the chipset drivers are current.
