You haven't mentioned what video cards you have and exactly which specific video driver versions that you're using?

I've Already done that bob anyway Edited the Post and Wrote “Graphic Card” at the End of em

Sorry, reading that Asus part didn't register in my mind as a video card. It's usually more common to describe video cards by their underlying chipset. So your second computer has a ATI Radeon X600 XT. See this page for some video driver recommendations:

BTW. If you don't mind the work, you can rule out the video card problems if you're willing to swap the video cards and go through all the trouble to re-installing video drivers.

Edward Thanks for Link It seems usefull

let me do as they told in it

ati generally has crappy drivers, well crappy open GL in fact… why, I don't know, but, a BIG butt
I must recomend this guy, 'cause all my open GL related problems where gone when I installed his drivers. I work mainly, still, :x , in Maya, so various glitches were present with official ati drivers, with omega ones, ZERO problems, it may help with Houdini, who knows…

Swapping video cards would allow you to determine if the problem on your office machine is related to the video card, as opposed to what software you might have installed, etc.

i am tired doing this Jeff also tried to help me but after all he also told me there's always a Problem with Asus Ati Cards anyway i am trying to make them buy an NVIDIA card someone told me that Nvidia 6800 16x in Pci2 is good can anyone tell me is there best card for Houdini.
