Hi yakas - it sounds like video driver related problems. You might see if there is any updated video driver you can get for it, that's probably your best bet for solving the problems. Often times a brand new machine still has slightly outdated driver software on it since they prepared the stuff for it like 6 months or so ago.

Another thing you might try is to go to MoI Options > General > "Edit .ini file" button, and inside the moi.ini file find the line for DisplayThreadLimit= and set it to say:

DisplayThreadLimit=1

That will prevent MoI from using multiple threads in the display engine, some video drivers can be sensitive to that.

Hopefully one of those things will get it to behave better.
