Works fine.

Works fine.

Depending on the graphic board your PC has, it is known that some model parts become transparent. It happens mostly with onboard graphics without separate graphic board like some laptops and entry level desktops.

Under Windows XP, disabling hardware acceleration on the graphic solves the problem. However, Vista does not have the option.

Work around is;
- Modifying graphic properties
In case of using onboard graphics on Intel chip set, the problem can be solved by modifying graphic properties.
(Excluding Intel 810 and 815 chip set)

Procedure

Right-click on the desktop and select "Graphics Properties..."

Click "3D Settings" button.

Change [Depth Buffer Bit Depth] from "Default" to "24 Bit Depth Buffer".


Alternative: Install add-on graphic board.
If you are using desktop computers and they have open PCI Express slots or AGP slots, you might want to install an add-on graphic board.
