You might possibly try running SoF2 in "Compatibility Mode" for Windows XP. Find your sof2mp.exe icon in your SoF2 folder and right click "Properties" then look for the tab that says "Compatibility". I know I'm showing you XP but I believe if memory serves, Vista has the same options.

If you followed the above steps, and the problem still persists, you can try changing some of the graphics settings.

Perhaps turning off shadows completely (if SoF2 allows that).

Edit: Make sure you are also running the latest DirectX

Make sure in the compatibility mode box, at the bottom, that you put a checkmark in the "run as administrator" box.

Odd annomoly, and unless someone else here has had it themselves and knows of a fix, it's unlikely that we're going to be of much help, other than tossing out suggestions to try.

If you do come up with a fix please come back here and post and let us know what it was.

This brings back memories, it actualy look like the old msn bug (that was never fixed if remember right),having a nvidia card and msn open did just that effect, back in the day (love to say that) , we used to close msn while playing sof2 , it didnt created lag tho and we could only see window frames and light fixture, much like those ss.

No fix was available :(

I believe even though Vista is a *Direct X 10* OS, it will also play *Direct X 9.0c* and below games (SoF2 is actually 8.1) at their native settings. I'm running the new Windows 7 Beta w/DX 10 btw and I have installed SoF2, CoD4, and Fear all on it and they all seem the same as always. (Well except not being to connect to PB enabled servers for Unknown Windows API Function.) Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. :blink:

You might just have an incompatibility between the OS and the onboards video drivers.
