Why the crap does this keep happening?
 

My graphics routinely become, as I like to call it, "garbled." They appear as a solid mass of, uhhh, garbage. Any way to fix this? (Look at the lamp.)

*shrugs* maybe your graphics card?

that use to happen to me all the time. have you tried restarting Graal or maybe even your computer? sorry, I'm not much help.

Must be a problem of not enough video memory although normally it uses normal RAM when there is no video memory. Have you started some other program while playing Graal?

I occasionally check AIM, but sometimes it happens even when I have the graal screen completely open.

Happens to me all the time. Your lucky its not your whole screen going wacko like that, all I do is restart my computer and it works fine.

At least you can SEE yours. half the time most of my graphics are invisible. :(

Looks like a problem with transparencies...or if your colors are on 32 bit, reduce them to 16 bit.

Or go to start>run>msconfig>startup and uncheck all non-essential start up programs for optimum memory usage.
