Weird lines under text...

I've been having this problem for a while now, and I can't figure out what's causing it. These strange lines appear under text in 3D applications in low and high quality settings alike. I'm currently on Windows XP x64 SP2, using my onboard Radeon HD 3200. No overclocking, ATi Catalyst 8.7, DirectX 9.0c (latest release). I can't figure out what's wrong.

Already did that. Low was all settings at minimal values, and everything off that could be turned off.

It's definitely not RMA. I found the right mix of settings to run Civ4 correctly, but now Eudemons Online has weird lines on the ground's tileset... I guess I'll just have to keep lists of what use what settings...

Omega drivers don't support HD 3200 onboards yet. I don't trust any other third party drivers.

I ment, is there no older set that supports the onboard 3200? I had a lot of problems with 8.7 on my 3870X2 so I went back to 8.6.

Try to update to 8.8 and see if that makes any difference.

I checked and 8.6 supports it so try with 8.8 and/or 8.6 and see what happens. If the problems persists with all driver versions there is something else behind your problems.

Hmm... Didn't know 8.8 was out yet. Do they have an RSS feed or something, so I can get notified about updates to Catalyst?

Well, if you checked the driver download page yourself you could have found this:

ATI Catalyst

Sorry? What's that got to do with anything?
