Fire Graphics Bug

[Slapacookie]

Now Whenever something is lite My grahpics turn to solid colors and I can see any icons. Ok So I have down loaded the Win_7_512 thing that was on the other thread. And It did not work. I dont know what to do

This is a reported bug (looks like you found it) and it likely has to do with video drivers. That I'm aware, nobody has pinpointed the exact problems. I saw a possible fix someone came up with for dealing with the maple leaves, which is a related bug. It doesn't fix the fire issues that I'm aware of, though.

The best I can suggest for now is to make sure all your drivers are as up to date as possible as well as any operating system updates. If that's not working, trying older driver versions might fix it. What video card/chip set do you have in your system? There's a 3rd party driver for Win 7 that seems to resolve these things for certain Intel graphics accelerators.

What version of Windows do you have installed? Be specific (service pack, x86 or x64 if applicable).

What video card do you have in your system? If you don't know, open up System Properties in the Control Panel. Click the "Hardware" tab and then the "Device Manager" button. Expand the "Display adapters" tree, and it should show the make and model of your graphics processor. If you double click the device, it will open a properties window and the "Driver" tab will show what version of the driver is being used.

Jaidal from Paradox Plaza:

Okay, I've fixed this problem with My Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, Intel i5 HD 3000 Graphics - Nvidia Geforce GT 540M Laptop setup:

What's happening is that the Intel software thinks it is up to date, when it is not. If you manually download the right drivers in exe form it will not work as an error will pop-up. So instead you need to download the generic zip file, and manually update it.

In my case I had to get the "win7_64-152612" file which can be accessed here. Select the 'Graphics>Processor Graphics>2nd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® HD Graphics 3000/2000>Windows 7(64bit*)." Proceed to clicking on the second option, then download the file hitting the accept option.

Once that is done, extract the file, then go to the Start Menu>Control Panel>Device Manager>Display Adapter>Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000>Right-click>Update Driver Software>Browse My Computer for Driver Software>Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer>(Select the 'HD Graphics Family'?)> click on 'Have Disk'>Browse> Find the location of the extracted files>open the Graphics subfolder>click on 'igdlh64.inf'>Open>OK>click on 'HD Graphics 3000'>Next. Wait for it to install. Restart, and you should be good to go!

I hope this helps.

EDIT: You probably should check on your OEM Manufacturers driver updates for your specific system. Hopefully they will have an update available at some point.
