Radish

I've also been having this problem with Geneforge, and I too am running Windows XP SP2 on a modern-ish ATI card (Radeon 4650). Tried a number of things that didn't help: turning off ATI GPU scaling, turning it back on but setting it to "Use centered timings", setting the Windows desktop to 16 bit color, and setting Geneforge's processor affinity in Task Manager to only use one processor. What finally did "fix" it was disabling my second monitor; I put fix in quotes for the obvious reason that a real fix wouldn't require breaking(/disabling – same difference) something else. Furthermore, my ADD requires that I have that second monitor constantly showing detailed checklists and reminders ("play plans" I call them) in order to make any kind of enjoyable progress in an RPG. So, here's hoping for a real fix.
