Tried all things i could think of from previous versions. even tried running in compat mode but still getting the problem. Cant see as its graphics card as i am running two NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 in SLI. Even tried turning anti-aliasing right down but still the same issue. Your help would be welcomed.
Cheers
