Screen problems - demyansk - 11-27-2010

When I play a game the screen goes white at times and then I have to click on the screen to bring back normal res. I am using windows 7 and have a nvidia card 285? Anyone else have these issues?

Hi, here is my solution, that I posted a few weeks ago:

***************************************

I also had this problem under Windows 7 on my Notebook. And I found a solution.

I changed the display mode to "Connection to a projector" and then "Doubled" the screen (without connecting anything).
Because my notebook has a size of 15:10 this changes a little bit of the Windows icons and their position (don´t know why), but when starting Squad Battles (for example Advance of the Reich), the error is fixed. Only about every 100th click a short white screen appears (mostly when AI is active), but this is no big problem.

(HPS idea of installing an older NVIDIA driver wasn´t a good solution, because many other games would crash.)

I hope this unconventional idea can help you and all the other players.

Mine would Flash White during artillery barrages, and I would only see the 'first' explosion.. once the barrage was over, control and the screen would turn back to normal.

I have a laptop with ATI card and Windows 7..

I found that running the program as Adminstrator resolved the problem..

Happens to me with Vista and a ATI Radeon. Not touching your PC (literally ;) during artilley usually avoids it for me.

It happens to me sometimes on my old XP machine with an Nvidia card. I remember reading in a related thread that turning off your anti-virus while playing might help but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
