I recently upgrades my brand new computer to a Radeon 9700 pro, and the card works fine in windows and elsewhere. The only place it messes up is when I am in Dawn of War in the opening menu, or in game. It dispays a random set of rectangles (kinda looking like a checker board)or some kind of prism. It looks like the mess up is a "layer - so to speak" on top of the real thing because in between the checker boxes it displays fine...
I know this may be cofusing because i don't have any idea what to call it... but i am sure someone else has the problem and will understand how to help me fix it.
Oh and yes i did install new drivers for the card and Direct X 9.0c
One more thing, sometimes the game works perfectly... usually the glitch occurs after a cold start of my machine or after the machine is on for a long time. This shouldn't help though, because the former would seem to be a power issue, and the latter being a possible overheating issue.
I wish i could be more help, but maybe you can be more helpful.
Thanks, yourself
