Artie is a friend of mine and as far as we can tell, he is running the newest drivers for his video card. The release date is October / 06. Is there any other reaon that you can think of that he could be having this issue?

He has an HP computer with an Intel shared Video Card. The latest driver shown is October / 06. I have suggested he contact HP and see if they have the file to update. We found it at Intel, but his system wont let him download or install it. Thought we had this issue resolved, but apparently not... Thanks for your help..

Computer is Acer Travelmate 4100.

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance

Travelmate 4100 with Intel 915GM or Mobility Radeon X600 ? If you have a travelmate with 915GM Chipset set shared memory to max in the bios and of course update your video drivers !

Hast du ein 4100 mit Intel 915GM oder ein Notebook mit Radeon X600 ???

I have the same problem, my laptop is ACER TM3012 with 945GM chipset already download and install update. Set graphics memory to max and sliders to the right - no change. I guess TW2K7 can not run on shared graphic memories

Hooray. Ive fixed my problem.

Im running TW2007 on an Acer laptop (RadeonX700).

I WAS having getting black fairways all the time, even on stock courses. Frequently had to quit game and restart to clear graphics problems. Plus frequent crashes.

The ATI drivers were up-to-date and memory not a problem.

To fix this I installed the omega drivers from http://www.omegadrivers.net/ati.php.

Since then Ive had no problems whatsoever. Even on downloaded courses. Plus I can now set graphics options to Auto and still works perfectly.

Hope this helps if youre having problems.
