RO = Ragnarok Online I would assume?

Hmm... for the overlapping words try turning off Anti-Aliasing in your Control Panel this is known to cause issues with a lot of foreign developed MMOs.

I need more details to be able to further help you.

Post a DXDiag if you can by doing Start -> Run -> type in: DxDiag -> Popup Box Hit No -> Save All Information -> Copy Text From The Text File Produced And Paste Into A Post @ GF?

Red Orchestra = RO

I see. Well be more specific if you can or make a DXDiag :) I will continue to help you if you can do either one of these 2 things for me.

I just started up CS:S and i cant even click ok at the MOTD it so lagy and every thing was diffrent colors and everything just looked really f..ked up

I can't really pinpoint the problem over the internet and it's not your fault... the DXDiag checks out everything is in check there... The best thing I can recommend is to reformat the PC.

lol not an option

idk man im sad i really want this fixed i spent alot of money on this

Xsessive Servers!!! Low Ping No Lag The Way It Should Be

did you plugin the extra power to the graphics card?

#16 wtf? how else would it work?

for you saying the walls were messed up it sounds like artifacting so the fan on it might not be working correctly

#highhopes

Wow, you didn't even try for like an hour.

Why won't you reformat anyway?

That would solve your problems for sure.

#18 is right.

If anything get the NEWER drivers from ATI's website.
