It's your video card driver problem, no doubts. I have FMS flying on all 3 of my home PCs: two are desktops with ATI and Woodoo cards--no problems at all. The third one is and old IBM Thinkpad laptop with cheesy Trident video chip, which exhibits visual problems just like yours.
If your video card is old, and no new drivers are available--you are out of luck. Try buying a 2-years old card at eBay, ฮ at most.
