Chris,

First off edit your post and remove your email address. You don't want the web spam bots picking up your email adress!

First of all.

What kind of video card did you have before?

Make sure you uninstall all the old drivers first.

Install the latest NVIDA dirvers

You might have to reinstall DirectX 9 even though the card comes as a DirectX 10 or DirectX 11 card.

In Trainz, try the options for either DirectX or OpenGL. On or the other may fix this problem.

Good luck and please let us know if any of this helps.

Hi John --

He said brand new GT430 - that's one of the better Nvidia cards. I think it's fair to say that new card = new drivers. With Nvidia drivers there is now no need to uninstall the old.

Rather than spoon feed newbees I think we need to teach them (and perhaps some of us oldbees) how to actually use the Forum search function to solve issues themselves? Hence the link to what is probably his solution.

It'd nice, though, if he came back and closed the loop with a "Thanks."

Edit:

By the way Chris, I was on your South Island mid-year snow boarding. Your is a great country. Great people too.

Ok first of all thank you for your help what you said to do in DLS worked and I'm a little embarassed that I din't think of that my self.
Second I have just fixed the prob so I haven't been able to get back to thank you.
All the help you have given me on this issue has been greatly appreciated more than you know.
Now I was also told not to put my Emale adress on my notes this I dident even think about that at the time so thank you for that bit of advise.
And as for the little tid bit about being down here in the south Island for snow boarding well all I can say is yes I live in a great country and yes I love NEW ZEALAND and I hope you come back to visit soon and by all means look us up
