its a problem with your graphic card, documented in alias.com... no solution other than buying a new and better graphics card... and then they dont guarantee nothing if it isnt a pro card... bad luck pal...

on a brighter side it they dont say it but it could be just an issue with the drivers... download the latest, install, and mess with the advanced open gl settings (and maybe give a try to direct3d too) to see if it could help...
