Blanks of Terror

[Infaustus]

For some unknown reason, I can't see certain things or they have a box around them filled with blank space. One of the worst spots is in the main dungeon. I cannot see the map at all, its just a huge white blank with the heads of people in it. Its hard to know where I am going and I can't memorize very well. Another example is the dark brown monkey, I can see the monkey itself but it has a blank box surrounding it. Certain Emotions I cannot see... like the pm one, which has a blank box around it as well. I am fairly sure it has nothing to do with my computer or its video card, but if its any consolation... heres the data:
Linux 9.0 running system
Intel 845G Chipset (Video, etc)
Multisync M700 Moniter
Pentium 4 & 2.4GHz
MX4GR Motherboard (Aopen)

Not sure this will help, but I could use some!
