Sims 2 - Little black dashes

This is a discussion about Sims 2 - Little black dashes in the Windows Games category; Hello =) I just bought the Sims 2 DVD and it seemed to install just fine. Everything looks okay so far EXCEPT there are little black dashes on the sides of the screen from top to bottom. What could cause this? Is this an easy fix? I'm new at this.

Hello =)
 
I just bought the Sims 2 DVD and it seemed to install just fine. Everything looks okay so far EXCEPT there are little black dashes on the sides of the screen from top to bottom.
 
What could cause this? Is this an easy fix?
 
I'm new at this... so I might need to give more info about my system in order to know what may be causing it?
 
Ummm... I have an ATI Radeon X600XT... let me know if you need any other info. =)
 
We've updated drivers and it didn't get rid of these little black dashes all along the sides.
 
Thanks!
Jewlz

Problem solved... we bought a new video card. =) The other one was tested and turned out to be defective.
