RE: [GD-Windows] Omega Drivers? (shudder)

[Troy G. <Tr...@cs...>]

Just taking a guess based on what I've read from the website...

Perhaps the mipmap settings are getting mucked up? The website mentions that
when the OmegaDriver is installed the mipmap drop-down will be blank.
Perhaps it is still set to whatever internal mipmap setting the driver uses,
which is invalid under the new driver, thus causing D3D/OGL to be unable to
fetch the correct texture?

I would assume that a re-install of the driver would reset these registry
settings, but perhaps they're not (to prevent users from having to re-tweak
their settings when they upgrade drivers). Try opening up the advanced
settings for the display and manually reseting all of the display options
(or using a "reset to defaults" option if available).
