OK, I was playing RCT3 Wild! in Sandbox mode, and I was building a small park, with several rides and attractions, and now that I have this much, the colors start to belend together, and you see large triangeles of red, greens, blues, blacks, etc. and it's a kalidescope effect, no matter how hard I try to get rid of it, it's still there, I zoom out and it disappers, I zoom in and it covers up half my screen....I hav all patchs installed, how can I fix this?

How much memory do you have free, and what graphics card are you using?

OK - but how much memory do you have free?

That's system memory - not free space on your hard drive, and free means availble that is not currently used running something in the background. For example - at this minute I have one GB memory, but less than 688,000 Mb is free and available to use.

Is your 9200 SE the 64 meg version or the 128 meg version?

Used: 45,945,520,128 bytes 42.7 GB
Free: 34,069,970,944 bytes 31.7 GB
how can i check the hard drive memory...or is that it?

I believe the G card is the 64 meg version...

I believe you ARE giving the Hard Drive info. The amount of system memory can be accessed using the Task Manager. Most systems have a Gigabyte or less.

The 64 Meg card might be part of the problem, as that is about the minimum it takes to boot the game, let alone run it.

I also have a Radeon 9200 graphics card and have the same damn problem:

I am wondering if there is an issue with the Radeon 9200 Graphics card. I have a 200 gigabyte hard drive with 150 gigabytes left on it. I downloaded the latest drivers. Now, since these 9200 cards are like fifty-sixty dollars, I wonder if I should just save up to get at least a Radeon 9800 . . .
