Default Strange graphics problem

Hi

I'm playing Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, and during the game, the screen flashes, items disappear from the screen (like the tools menu), and eventually, the game crashes.

I'm guessing its an issue with my graphics card, but I can't be sure. Anyone got any ideas?

Hey James-A!
Welcome to PC Helpforum!

What kind of graphics card do you use?
Have you checked for patches on Roller Coaster Tycoon 3?
Is your DirectX up to date?
Are you graphics drivers up to date?

Sounds like it could be that youre vga card is overheating , does its fan still work , and not full with dust?

are you overclocking your video card?

try updating the drivers...if there's no new drivers, re-install your current ones...they could have somehow corrupted themselves
