Hi Boots, have you tried reinstalling the game and updating your display drivers?

You can update your drivers by googling for 'nvidia drivers' or 'amd drivers'. I can't post the links directly here due to the spam filter.

Regardless, more importantly, try reinstalling the game and tell me if the problem still persists?

On a secondary note, has anyone else experienced the problems that BootsMcGraw faced?

If so, please do post here or tell the mods. Thanks!!

Thanks to all for their advice and words of wisdom.

Re-installing the game did not help. And I am not enough a computer geek to toy with hardware and software of which I know little or nothing.

Tweaking my hardware accelerator seemed to work, although it's messed up the graphics on most of my other programs. It's annoying to have to re-set the accelerator, daily, but a small price to pay to continue playing this game that I enjoy so much.

I got disgusted with how my doorstop of a computer wasn't performing for Foldit, or anything else; so in June, I bought a brand new computer. Quad core (whatever that means…Pletsch said that is a good thing), with something like 4 gigabytes of memory (eight times what the previous machine had); so I have no problems with graphics or any other aspect of Foldit.

I think the complexity of the game is growing faster than many people's machines can keep up with. Hopefully, the ability to tone down the graphics will allow those with older machines to play the game without slowdowns, glitches, or crashes.

I wouldn't be quite so sure–Over the past two months only an older computer was available for my use. After attempting the first design puzzle, I was so frustrated about the gamespeed, even under the lowest settings, that I didn't bother again.

But that's all changed now that I have my beautiful, shiny, good, fast computer back! ^_^
