Awkward Graphical Glitch

[Knightwing 10]

I have a very strange graphical error. At times I notice that on my screen that there is a wierd grey flat thing that keeps on taking up my entire screen so I can not see the environment or anything else. I also notice that this occured on the menu cinematic. Also at times the game screen will become transparent; I can see all the windows of the programs I have running on my pc but I can no longer see the game.

Don't let your cat walk around on your desk... :D

In all seriousness though, it sounds like a possible overheating problem, but it's not easy to diagnose when you've told us nothing about your system.

What hardware are you running? In-game settings? Have you monitored system temps while playing?

I have a Sony Vaio Laptop - Model VPCEA24FM

My graphical display card is an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (HD)

I have Windows 7 64bit operating system

As for the temperature, I don't know how to find it.

From the screenshot, it looks like an overheating problem to me. But it's hard to tell from just a screenshot.

if it does not occur in other games then I would say its just arma2's compat issues with integrated graphics chips like that. There is problem a fix but because vast majority of people have ati or nvidia cards I doubt anyone will post it. I would try running in window mode and also attempt to disable all graphics settings ingame and before all that update drivers, inc directx
