Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 7600 Gs PCI-E 256mb Clocked at 420mhz

Erm... wow... ohnoo.gif

My guess would be that this is a performance related issue, I remeber in ArmA1 with my old card, textures would sometimes not load correctly, and would be replaced with weird colours and whatnot, so this is probably something similar. (Only particle effects and such are being weirded instead)

Looking at your setup, it seems you're a bit under the minimum requirements with your graphics card (7800 is listed as a minimum) and RAM (1GiB is listed as minimum). I'd expect upgrading these will solve your problem.

If you're looking to save a buck though, updating your drivers might have some effect.

OH... OK thx... then it's time for upgrading the PC!! eh is there any other alternative way to play this awesome game properly without those colorful color
in other words... cheaper than buying/upgrading my PC?

THX in advance....

Like I said, try upgrading your video card drivers. That's all I can really think of. You could try tweaking the graphics settings (looks like you've got Post processing active, among other things), this might solve the issue, but you'll probably get the best results by simply upgrading.

Yay! ArmA 2 on 'shrooms!

A driver update is a good idea. You also might try refreshing the video memory by pressing Shift + Numpad Minus and typing flush.
