[newholland2]

Hi, I have installed Version 2.5 and have a problem. When I bring up the PDA my screen flickers and I cant read what the PDA says. Any ideas on how to fix this. Thanks for any help.

Hi Ben. I installed the update 2.5.5 but the screen still flickers when I bring up the PDA but it doesn't flicker so much when I go onto a new machine. Anything else I cand do to fix this

I suggest you to test as follow :

- Try another resolution in the 'Graphic setting' dialog box, for example 640x480.

- Try another render driver from the list available : OPENGL, or DIRECTX 7.0...

- Change the color deph of windows to 16 millions, instead of 32 m. (windows control panel)

- Try to update your graphic card driver and directX

Thanks for your help Ben. I will give those ideas a go as soon as I get a spare few minutes and put up a post to say if it worked or not.
Thanks Again

Hi Ben, I've found it that the PDA only flickers when I bring it up when the engine is running. I changed the resolution to 640x480. It seems to be that the 9400 doesn't flicker but the STS can flicker at times. Also when I harvest the Train Field sometimes a sort of black cloud envelopes the Combine and my computer automatically restarts, any ideas what causes this?
Thanks for your help
