Okay here's the thing.. I've been stressing over this small problem for a while now. And yesterday I decided to test it on my other computer, which is inferior to mine but uses a geforce instead of a radeon. And I was surprised to see that it ran PERFECTLY on it.
Which leads me to beleive it's my Graphics card that's the problem.. but I don't know who else to ask about it, so here we go.
The Problem : Strange horizontal blips appear in times of too much animation.. or in some areas ( Like the Mayor's room / Library in the Shinra building ) moving horizontally will cause horrible amounts of them to appear.. but moving vertically is fine :/.
I have tried other plugins, but Pete's OpenGL2 is the only one that acheived perfect results par the Blip thing. I really don't know what to do about it. Here's all the info you need to know.
Pentium 4 3ghz, 512 ram, Radeon 9600 128mb ( I've heard a lot of bad things about Radeon 9600's... )

I'm not sure if they're relevant.. but there are a few other factors
1) My graphics card has major problems when trying to update the drivers, errors and such.. so I'm using old Drivers. However I did test to see if the problem was there when it was upgraded, and they still were.
2) It doesn't matter how quick I am hitting the Print Scrn key, my screenshots don't capture the horizontal blips.. this still confuses me.
Well that's about all I can tell you, I just hope that someone on this forum can help out.. since I can't afford a new graphics card ( And I'd probably end up buying a card that's put down a lot like the 9600 anyway :/ )
