Annoying bugs

I've been playing since November now and since then I've had these bugs all the way through but now I've started making full use of all the controls and playing seriously they're really holding me back.

The first bug is a visual bug and I'm guessing it could be my graphics card ( ATI Radeon x1200 Series ), but I'm not entirely sure.
This bug consists of many coloured lines appearing all over the screen and moving about all over the place. The lines are attached to units and usually make an appearance whilst constructing something but generally theses lines appear most of the whilst in game.
If you guys aren't sure what this bug or need more info I should be able to dig up a few screenshots.

The second bug seems to be an issue with the controls or such. What happens from the moment the game starts the controls play up. For instance when I zoom in or out the camera will either zoom fully in or fully in or fully out. Also the game will not let me rotate units, share , D-Gun or many other controls become useless.
Although about 5 minutes or less into the game the issue suddenly stops and then it sometimes comes back again later in the game. It basically appears randomly.
This only happens in some games and I still haven't figured out what triggers it.
I'm using Vista Home Premium and the latest updates to Spring with TAS Client 0.36.

The final bug that I experience is Spring.exe games actually loading up. When the game starts ( Before the loading screen), Spring.exe fails to open in a full window and instead loads and opens in the top left corner of my screen over the minimap and is about 20x50 pixels big. This is the only bug that stops me from being able to even load up Spring. It happens occasionally a lot less than my controls issue.
I have no idea why this is happening.


Anyways, they're my bugs and I'm hoping you guys could give me some support for this, I'd really appreciate it.

Spring uses OpenGL, and ATI's support of OpenGL is... lacking. It probably could be made to work, but it would require some rather expert, specific knowledge. It isn't of any help that most of the developers have nvidia cards for that very reason.

That's due to the ALT key being stuck.

Because you fixed it by hitting ALT.

Yeh, I know that know, seeing as I posted in the topic way before you linked me to it :P
But it would still be nice to play games where you don't have to keep hitting Alt to get it to work.
