Most recently I have been playing in PW and usually after a few minutes or more I start to see monsters and townsfolk alike that appear to be giant ERR blocks walking around. Certain objects like building structures show in big white blocks. Or buildings themselves instead of color being all white. Then there is things like spells and for instance my arrows cause I was in with my archer, showing more like Pixelized graphics. I don't thinks its my puter cause I just recently had it reformatted and installed my 9100 Raedon Graphics Card. But I might be wrong! Please would like to know what can be done to change this. Also one final thing sometimes when i click the button that is to hide certain things and supposedly make things run quicker in heavier trafficed areas the whole game screen blacks out then POOF i am back out to windows and game closes!b:cryI really want to be in and lvl my Charaters but experiencing these probs makes me wanna just quit somedays!!

    That actually does sound like a graphics/driver issue. Have you tried updating?

    Microsoft Direct X
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/browse.aspx?displaylang=en&productID=9C954C37-1ED1-4846-8A7D-85FC422D1388

    Ati Graphics Cards
    http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

    Also if that doesn't help could you list the following fields from a DXDIAG?
    System Tab - System Information box -
    Operating System :
    Processor :
    Memory :

    Display Tab - device box -
    Name:
    Chip Type:
    Approx Total Memory:

    Display Tab - driver box -
    Main Driver :
    Version :
    Date:

    To open a dxdiag :
    In Vista, type dxdiag in the Start menu search bar
    In other versions of Windows, type dxdiag in the Run command (Start > Run).

    Please do not use any symbols other than alphanumerics, commas, and periods.

    I Agree with aryannamage,
    It does sound like a Graphics/Driver issue.
    You should update.

    A Verify from the launcher may help if you're missing the model files for that NPC, too.

    Like Gattsuru said, click on Verify on the game launcher menu (smaller one), let the process run for a little bit, then try again.
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?

    My old pc did that, and it was getting really freaky corrupt graphics in certain other mmos but fine in other newer games. No amount of changing drivers or reinstalling OS etc fixed it.
    In my case I think the card was just old and probably had a malfunction somewhere, because the 2 messed up games were previously fine before.
