When i load into any game in ARMA II in multiplayer mode it loads up and once i enter the game it appears that all the vehicles and players are floating and sometimes they appear to be underwater. I am getting alot of game crashes also with the message "display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has sucessfully recovered". Can anyone suggest what the problem is and a possible fix i have installed the latest drivers from nvidia etc. Any help much appreciated.

I have added the winxp switch and it works a treat... thanks to all for inputs much appreciated

Thanks To All I Added The -winxp switch and it works fine full specs finally i can play the game without having to take memory out of my pc Cheers

I'm running vista 64bit also and 8gb Ram and getting the same problem. if you take 4gb of ram off your board it works fine, put 4gb back to make it up to 8gb then it has a dicky fit again. must be related to the amount of memory on your system. This is my shortcut path for the game and i not sure how to insert the winxp switch as mine is through steam??? "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 33920 Any ideas Thanks In Advance

Thanks for evryones quick replies, Blanghorst any chance you could post up the exact text in your shortcut so i can give it a try. Thanks Again

When i play the game with 4gb memory its works fine, but when i put my full amount of memory in to my system (8gb) the graphics get all messed up it looks like a really poor cartoon drawing in game, the trees look square blocks etc. I have taken all the memory out and used the second 4gb on its own and its fine the graphics are spot on. Also had my Motherbaird tested by Asus and its working 100% with all Ram slots fine. Any ideas on this one or if possible a simple fix.
