FSX problem. HELP!!

[Haydos]

G'day everyone.

I have FSX, with SP2. Recently, I've noticed that everytime I fly, there is
a strange problem that occurs. It looks like the ground textures are actually
going vertically in the air, and i cannot see clearly out of the cockpit.
It's hard to explain, but that's basically what it is. There are sort of
vertical walls of this texture everywhere i look. Does anyone know what I'm
talking about? If so, please give me any suggestions as to how i could go
about fixing this irritating problem.

OS: Microsoft Office XP
Graphics Card: ATI X1600
1GB RAM

Your post is a little confusing. "Microsoft Office XP" is a productivity
suite, not an operating system. Perhaps you mean "Microsoft Windows XP
Home", "Windows XP Professional" or "Windows XP Media Center". Is it
also possible you have Service Pack 2 for the operating system and
Service Pack 1 for the simulator? Some retailers installed Microsoft
Office XP in addition to the operating system as an added incentive for
customers to chose their computers for purchase.

Like many other other computer peripherals the drivers for video cards
are frequently revised while products (and their installation media) are
still making their way to the customer through the supply chain. Please
supply the driver version you are using in a further post (see
information below) so others with similar hardware can offer you the
benefit of their experiences.

A useful tool for identifying your hardware and driver version
information is the DirectX Diagnostic available by clicking the Windows
XP "Run.." option on the "Start" button menu and typing "dxdiag" in the
text entry box (works for some other versions of Windows as well). In
addition to the information displayed by the utility you can test your
computer's utilization of it's video and sound hardware THEN record a
log file on your hard drive listing the test results, hardware
specifications and driver information. The log file offers an
opportunity to copy some of that information to your windows clipboard
for pasting into posts on this forum/news group.
