- VRam size: 0 MBytes - 8 textures usable

Try setting this to the VRAM size of your card (64 or 128 MB). "8 textures usable" sounds a bit too low, hopefully changing that setting will fix it. Here are my settings for the OGL2 plugin.

I tried your suggestions there n_w95482, however I'm still getting the same problem.

I think it may be a plugin problem, however, because I'm getting the exact same graphical problems with Pete's opensource software plugin. Here are some screenshots and config files again. (And the same spoiler warning as before).

Same configuration as the first post, except:
Graphic Plugin: P.E.Op.S. Soft Driver 1.15

I should have posted this with the original post, my apologies to everyone.
