'Graphics' Issue
« on: October 09, 2010, 05:24:53 PM »
Okay, loaded RA2 up for some pre-RIMPin' c, and suddenly... things don't seem to be going well.

Happens on all my copies of RA2, and in the exact order that the images are in below.

Any help? Or RIMP will have to be delayed until a solution is found...

Oh wonderful. The moment you post for help about it, something happens and it all suddenly works.

My laptop. What a dick. :P

Acer Aspire 5720. It's a bit rubbish but does the job. Something went wrong in the GMA, I just fiddled a few settings and somehow it worked.

Ah, I've got an Acer Aspire 2920. I'm just wondering if this will eventually affect me somehow. And what's GMA?

The Graphics Media Accelerator. Basically the cheap laptop version of a graphics/video card XD and I doubt it'll affect you, I think I might've done something wierd to my screen the other day in some settings, accidentally XD

Ah, okay. That's fine then. Good that everything's sorted out for you, though. =)
