Weird thing in game maybe graphics card problem?

[StukasImVisier]

I just bought the game today..installed it yada yada yada. So I get in the game everything is fine. I walk out and I see these weird white rectangle things in the game that appear and if I look around they disappear..and then I look where I was looking before and it does the same thing I have a screenshot if it helps. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v479/Panzerschreckk/weirdthing.bmp
Anyways I am running P4 1.7 gig, 512 mb ddr ram, radeon 9200 se graphics card. Anyone help?

The first thing you probably want to do is make sure your drivers are updated. It's surprising how many things updating them can do.

What you are describing sounds a lot like Artifacting. Depending on how well you know graphics cards, you may already know about it, but in case you don't: Artifacting generally appears as rectangles or triangles or lines that appear in odd places during games and is caused by your card overheating (usually the memory). I can't quite tell if that's what happeneing in your picture. If it seems to happen often and at random times and places, especially after you've been playing a little while, this could be the culprit. In which case, I would recommend ventilating your graphics card better or setting it to stock speeds if you are overclocking. If its localized to one place or one type of texture, its probably some sort of texture corruption or the result of setting the game graphics at a setting your card is not speced to handle. Let me know if anything in this didn't make sense.
