I hope this is the correct place to post this, if not, I am sorry.<p>I have been having issues with what I think is called Pixel (or texture) tearing. It happens sometimes out of games, but it has never been as severe as it is when I play EQ2. Usually it occurs everywhere, except when I angle my camera in certain ways (i.e. in tunnels, directly at things like walls or rocks, and directly into the sky). Sometimes it goes away for a few seconds to a few minutes, and it usually isn't in my housing, but sometimes it does happen for brief moments.It starts at my character select screen, beginning with bright green pixeled rectangles that checker on the right side of my screen. They don't go all the way down, but past the halfway point of my screen. About an inch to two inches to the left is another column that acts and looks the same, except it is a soft red-purple color. It continues alternating green and red, equaling four columns not extending all the way across my screen. Sometimes they flash, and they are still there even when I window my game. Please help! I was really excited to play again, but this is really irritating, and it hurts my head to play with it like this.</p>Here are some ingame screenshots.<a rel="nofollow" href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/chokedsmurf/EQ2_000020.jpg" target="_blank">http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c.../EQ2_000020.jpg</a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/chokedsmurf/CopyofEQ2_000013.jpg" target="_blank">http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c...fEQ2_000013.jpg</a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/chokedsmurf/EQ2_000016.jpg" target="_blank">http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c.../EQ2_000016.jpg</a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/chokedsmurf/EQ2_000017.jpg" target="_blank">http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c.../EQ2_000017.jpg</a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/chokedsmurf/EQ2_000019.jpg" target="_blank">http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c.../EQ2_000019.jpg</a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/chokedsmurf/EQ2_000015.jpg" target="_blank">http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c.../EQ2_000015.jpg</a>[edit- I have also been getting an error- even before the graphical errors started. It makes my EQ2 crash, and sometimes a "Blue screen of doom".I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I just got a shot of it. <a href="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/chokedsmurf/eq2Error.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c...rf/eq2Error.jpg</a>]Here is my system info, hopefully it is whats needed (or I probably did too much, but I would rather be safe than sorry). If not, just say what you need and I will find my info for it. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><p><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp.080413-2111) Language: English (Regional Setting: English)System Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
