The problem: I installed xp pro (getting rid of ME) and re-installed GR, DS, IT and 1.4 patch(all worked previously with ME).
Minor problems are noticeable immediately as there are a few bright yellow, white, blue, red and green dots in GHOST RECON graphic. In the Multiplayer set up page, some of the blue edges are outlined in red and the ping bars are discolored.
The map preview window in the top left flashes brightly with colors every few seconds.
In game, objects are outlined with bright random colors which tend to get worse as you approach them.
System: 1.7 GHz Pentium4, 768 M
