Distorted Land

Hi,
Recently installed Oblivion and having trouble with the distant rendering land thing.
My specifications are:
3.0 Ghz Pentium D (overclocked at 3.5)
2gb Ram
7950 GTOC 512mb

i've had these tested on the systems requirement lab to run with this game and it came full in everything so i'm a bit confused why the land is not being correct.

The problem is that when i click the option for "distant rendering" the land (the floor) starts to lose it's colour and becomes a lot more basic and distorted. When the distant rendering is turned off the ground looks like it shuld do.
I wondered if anyone could post any advice?

Here's a printscreen:-

thanks

 

Whoa, props to one of the weirdest screen shots I've seen lately!

I don't really have any advice, heh. The purple, though, looks a lot like when there is a missing texture is Half Life 2, (usually because of memory.) Maybe try closing apps and then turning stuff down to see how it runs? Turn off AA or something. idk.

yeah it works when i get rid of distant rendering but the game needs it i feel

 

oo no worries, i worked it out. My gfx card struggled with my dual core processor, i installed some drivers from the windows site and all is well. Incidentally i noticed the colours on the ground were the same as the roofs of houses in the villages.
thanks
