I have recently installed Firestone South for PGA Tour 07
The game works ok but I cant see the grass or the sand traps.
It looks like the bottom of the screen is black except for the show grid and the hole itself is white.
Also I noticed in the files under Firestone South there is only about 5 files all my other courses have 10 or 12 including course library ea sports, sand config etc.
I hope someone can help
My CL Setup analysis says everything is ok.

What kind of video card do you have in your PC? from your deion, it sounds like you have a video card that is not supported by the game. If that is the case, you may be able to play stock courses, but custom courses require a higher end video card that is supported by the game.

Thanks Jeff

I have a Mobile Intel (R) 915GM/GMS,910ML Express Chiplet Family video card
I wish Firestone South was a custom course
Do you think if I bought the 2008 Tiger Woods PGA Tour I would be able to pay it?
Dont think Im getting a new computer and since my video card is integrated Im stuck

Thanks again for your time it is appreciated

Im sorry I meant I wish it was a stock course
Would it be a stock course on the 2008 PGA Tour since it is part of that version or will I still have trouble?

Its your video card thats the problem, buying and installing 2008 would not guarantee it would run well as that card is not supported, if you are using a desktop your best option would be to add a stand alone video card they are reasonable to buy now.

Thanks for all your help
My video card is integrated so I cant upgrade. I have a very nice laptop so Im probably not going to upgrade computers now.
***If I upgrade my driver to Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver will it help?

You arent understanding. Yes your video card is integrated into your PC, but your PC should have slots where add-on cards can be added. You can buy an nVidia or ATI video card, plug it into your PC, turn off your integrated video card in your PCs BIOS settings and your PC will work just fine with the add-on card. That is what you are going to have to do if you want to play 07 or 08 with custom courses. No video driver update is going to help you. Only an upgrade to your video card is going to help.

The question here is if the computer you are talking about is a laptop or a PC. It sounds to me you are saying it is a laptop, in which case like you say the graphics adapter cannot be upgraded. I believe for now you are stuck with what you have in that it is not going to play TW to its full potential.
