For the last day or so my game has been flickering a lot, i was playing arcade and i go to take my shot and then i aimed somewhere else and missed the ball completely. Its even worse for original its happening at least 3 times a frame i was on a 85 break with 2 reds left and went to pot a easy black and i ended up putting the white straight into the pocket! Any idea's how i can stop this.. its only recently its been happening?

Do you have any other programs working in the background?/

You could try upgrading your graphics card drivers also.

My computer is a top computer i don't think the graphic card needs upgrading. And nope i don't have anything in the back ground, iv never experience lag or anything its just this flickering witch makes me miss the ball completely any more suggestions?

Im not suggesting upgrading the graphics card, Im suggesting updating its drivers. Its something that should be done regularly anyway.

Tell me the exact model of your graphics card and I will point you to the newest driver version.

Hi - Grade? Intel? Intel Core? Windows XP? I have all them.

If thats not what you wanted then can you tell me how to find out what my model of my graphics card is?

Go to Start - Run and type in dxdiag......then click ok
Click on Yes on the prompt
Then click the "Display 1" or "Display" prompt.

Under device it has the exact name.

=| I have just installed it and everything is tiny i clicked play as guest and the table is tiny :S i have just tried system restore and it come up "Changes to the driver(s) E:/ after this point cannot be reversed because the drive was either excluded from system restore monitoring, or was turned off or removed."

So this means i am stuck like this?

Thats just your resolution.
Right click on your background, select properties, settings and change screen resolution.

First try 1024 X 768 and if that aint better try 800 X 600.

1024 X 768 Is too large and 800 X 600 is way too large! Any chance of getting it to my original size?


Btw i have tried the other options and they are either to small or too large.

It had to be one of those resolutions.
1152 X 864 could also be it.

Other than that try Advanced - Change DPI setting to Large Size.

Cause i was looking at the smallest one when i tried 1024 X 768 it looked huge but i asked my girl for her opinion and she thinks its the one above^^ so am happy with that now. Cheers Ray.

Actually this was ok for a while, but now its got even worse _22kaka22_ is my witness. Its happening at least 6 times a frame now.. so i take it its just going to get worse, so i cant play original with zoom now

It could be the window refreshing... as when you zoom in it goes back to its original position when the page reloads; which is quite often.

Just a thought.
