wow. you definitely got some serious graphics issues there, chris. if this is something that just starting occurring, i would bite the bullet and dq out. then goto the guru3d.com forums and uninstall/reinstall my graphics driver:

if that doesn't take care of it, try uninstalling/reinstalling links (don't delete courses, a n i s, saved games, etc).
if you have integrated intel graphics, try (i'll search for it if you have trouble finding it) gibby's link to the intel site for the software graphics accelerator.
