Dear community,
I think my problem speaks for it self.
Is there anybody who knows a solution to this problem.
Greetings,

I'm on vista but on my Ubuntu i have the same issue with my Dell Vostro 1700. The problems starts directly when the game starts. With "starts" i mean when i'm done with the menu and the fun is supposed to happen.

Weird. Try updating to your latest video card drivers. What are your specs?

I did update my drivers. all of them. I have don't have a videocard but an accelerator.
My specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7300 @ 2.00GHz 2.00GHz
2.00 GB memory
32 bit Vista OS
A earlier version of warzone did work. The original CD version also worked on my vista and XP.

A video card and a graphics accelerator is exactly the same thing. All modern desktop/laptop style computers have them. What is yours called?

That *is* a video driver issue.
Looks like it isn't clearing the backbuffer.
Try reverting back, if you are using the latest version of the drivers.
and it ends here.

Where can i get an older version of this hardware's driver? I checked the Dell driver webpage but only latest drivers.

You need to ask Dell. There should be a option some place on the page that has a archive of older drivers, or you may be able to use Nvidia drivers from
http://www.nvidia.com (though, I am not sure if those will work or not--usually, with a laptop, you need to get OEM drivers)
*edit*, I *think* the specs on that laptop has a Nvidia gfx chipset.... if it don't then the Nvidia drivers won't help.
and it ends here.

Lots of laptops have Intel graphics chipsets. If yours is, try here:
