Is there anyway you can prevent and/or fix that? For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about...say you texture a cube and rotate the camera around it, the texture will remain as is on the cube as you rotate, but some of the pixels in the texture will appear to be moving.

Thanks for the help.

This only appears to affect certain graphics cards, for example, I get this problem on my Riva TNT 2 Ultra but not my GeForce 3 Ti200.

No, I do actually recall clearly downloading a program (off of one of these websites, DBPro or DB) that showed how to fix pixel swimming.

Perhaps one of the admins can enlighten me as to where to find this program - I know it exists, I just can't remember exactly where I downloaded it from.

In the meantime...if anyone has any idea, let me know.

its and inherent graphics card based problem due to the lack of being able to properly define the float values that need to be used ... you can't fix it without a DLL to fixx it within DirectX

end of story

Ah, I just recalled where I saw how to fix this. If you look in the examples section of the original DarkBASIC (the demo will do), it's somewhere in there - I definitely recall seeing it there. I don't remember exactly what the title was, but I'll check it out.
