Hey gang,

As you might ve guessed its my graphics card again! I have been having transparency issues with the 156 since I downloaded it. Interesting thing is that only the wiper thing, the TPWS buttons (when pressed) and the brake and speedo needles have these problems. I have tried the usual remedy with Irfanview but it hasnt worked. I have tried changing the RGB values to 0 0 255 but still nothing. I had given up on this until yesterday when I tried once more by reinstalling it but still nothing! Any help is very appreciated.

We had that on one of the demo computers at Acton. Try upgrading your graphic card's drivers (these can be downloaded free from your graphic card makers' website).

I also have the same problem! Although it's the only train that it happens to.

I also used to have the same problem on my old PC which has a SiS integrated graphics card, there was nothing I could do about it unfortunately
:(

Yup (although the fact that I have 256 RAM could have something to do with it!)

Intergrated graphics aren't really the best thing. Proper graphics cards are best in my experience.

Check your PC box (if you still have it) or go get TuneUp Utilities and look on PC info.

Well, you could order a soldering iron and a few PCBs and do it yourself ;)...

How the hell would we know - you'd have to ask steve. He doesn't 'make' it from anywhere - he buys it from a shop...
