I've got a problem since I upgraded to windows xp:
Whenever I run a table, the graphics are all garbled.
Does anyone know the reason for this?

Exactly what is garbled.. whole screen, or parts? Try changing your color vit-depth to 32bit, or if 32bit, try 16bit. Try both window and fullscreen mode. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card.

Well, it's not the whole screen, just the pinball table window. It's mostly black, but parts of the table appear in a, well, garbled way. I put up a screenshot here:

(sorry, I don't know how to link, I'll leave the picture on for 3 days).

It's not the fault of 32/16 bits, or fullscreen, and my drivers are OK.
I also trie the compatibility options, but to no avail...

I think I remember this problem. If you're using nVidia drivers, 40.71 and 40.72 are known to have problems with Visual Pinball.

You should try 30.82 or 40.41 instead.

Yeah, I think that's it. I hope this problem gets fixed though. Is it the fault of the drivers or of vpinball?
