Hello,

Not long ago I bought a new computer and installed Windows 7 as the OS. Other games run smoothly (for comparision, FarCry 2 very rarely goes below 80FPS on ultra, DA: Origins usually runs @ 120FPS and so on), but Counter-Strike 1.6 is unplayable because of graphical errors. They have always been there, but after I installed new drivers today they became much much worse. I can correct or at least patch these problems up by installing the old drivers back, but before I do that I'd like to know if there's an actual fix for this?

My rig is 920 i7 Quadcore running @ 3,8Ghz, XFX HD 5870 @ Newest drivers (10.2), and I'm using Win 7 Ultimate, with all the latest patches. Should be mentioned that I've been experiencing strange graphical errors with Aero as well, but I got rid of them by simply disabling Aero.

I uploaded a video on youtube that shows the errors in action. There will be another one up a bit later but you'll see what I'm talking about from this one as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejl1JPE6fjc

OpenGL, and I've tried several different resolutions too, but no dice.

I'm starting to think it's a problem with my installation of win 7, as some other games have shown signs of similar errors, FIFA 10 most notably (although only on main menu).

Will try a reinstall at some point, hopefully it solves the problem.
