Screensaver 3.5.5 leaves screen a graphic mess when it exits

Post by Joshocom »

Greetings,

I'm a registered Platinum owner with a new issue: when the screensaver exits, the desktop is a mess of horizontal lines. I can clean it up by grabbing a window and sweeping it around the desktop -- this cleans up all the artifacts -- but it's a pain. Any solution for this?

I'm running XP on a Dell Inspiron I6000 laptop with a gig of RAM; the display is an ATI Mobility Radeon X300.

Thanks,
Josh

You may want to try turning off the OpenGL functionality within G-Force. To do this in G-Force Platinum (version 3.5.6 or later), please start the Standalone version of G-Force (from the Start menu in Windows or the Extras folder in the Mac install image) and then press "Shift O" once the G-Force screen appears (a text message should appear informing you that OpenGL has been turned off).

If don't have G-Force Standalone or are not running version 3.5.6 or later, please follow the instructions below:
(i) Please open the following folder in Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_NAME\G-Force or for Mac OS X: home/Library/Preferences/G-Force
(ii) Open the file "Global Preferences.txt"
(iii) Add the following text as the last line within the file "nOGL=1"
