So I go to install a "backup" of a game, but once it is installed and ran, the game sound is fine but the into/screen/everything visual skips like hell. The game is unplayable like this, but it looks like everything else is fine.

Way beyond. This happened with Alcie, and just yesterday with MOHAA. I downloaded the iso, burned it, installed it, and once you start it up, its like the video/all the graphics are skipping. It looked like it installed fine, just onve it starts up...

Only happenes on some games. BF1942 was fine.

hmmmm Alice and Mohaa, those two games use the Q3 Graphix engine, maybe you have a problem with OpenGL, try installing Your Graphix Drivers and Update Directx9.0A to DirectX9.0b

That is a good idea.

I did notice that the configs said OpenGL.

Only thing is, I flashed my Geforce4mx to be a Quattro.

I will try to get the new nVIDIA drivers, and you said the 9.0b DirectX?

everything else on your hard drive working ok? I only ask because my drives need defragging very often and if i dont everything skips like you said, music and games alike especially if im running the ISO's or cues with virtual drives, off the harddisc

Yea, other games worked fine. Just several iso's or ziped games I get off of here do this.
