Video Bug?

Howdy,

I just installed HL2 and CS:S and am having a strange video problem while
playing CS:S. All the highlights in the light sources look like little
white boxes with an X in the center that I can see thru walls and accross
the map.

My system is:

Athlon XP 1800+
512MB ram
Prolink FX 5200
Windows 2k pro
DX9c
66.93 forceware drivers

Anyone heard of this?

All I can tell you is that those drivers work fine on my 6800 ultra and I have
never seen the bug you describe. Could be you DX8 compatible card.

I tried running DX9, DX8.1, DX8 and DX7, all with the same results. No
luck. Could I be missing a texture that's causing this problem? My
console messages look like this after running the video stress test..
