Ricardo,Make sure your case is well ventilated, that sounds a lot like heat artifacts to me...

Hi Ricardo,The following worked for me to get rid of the shimmering:Start fs9, go to Settings/Display/hardware tab then uncheck the render to texture box.That should end the shimmering scenery.Best RegardsPete

If i put anything on top of my cable box i get a shadow picture, distored colors, and a bunch of lines of distorted color that are about 1 inch think horizontally.I normally turn it off, unplug it, and blow some compressed air through the little holes on the top. Scientific Atlanta is evil....
