Graphics Jump after minimizing sims game

(1/4) > >>

Cinamun:
Okay when i'm playing the game sometimes rather than playing in windowed mode (i'm blind I need full screen LOL!!) I ALT+TAB to minimize and work with other programs.  Sometimes when I return to the game after its been minimized the graphics jump and are well .. the plumbbobs and hair arent solid anymore when I move the camera its like they are a "screen" if you will.. like the same look as the screen of a screen door. I tried to take pics of it, but even the camera wont work when I return to the game.  I usually have to reboot the game several times in order to minimize/play without issue.
 
Has this happened to anyone before?  How did you solve it?
 
Let me know if you need to know my specs or if you need a better description of the problem.
 
Thank you!

I was able to take a vid of it. One neighborhood vid and one in lot vid. I've updated all my drivers and it still exists. I also took out all CC. The hair, windows and other stuff I agree, look like screens on a front door. Mine happens even when I've just started the game. It just started doing it a few days ago. It started out when I minimized from full screen to desktop and now it just happens all the time.

I've included my dxdiag log.

Just wondering what your system specs are.
Are you having video drop out issues?
Have you noticed any probs when you're playing a video file?

Thats EXACTLY IT!!
It only happens when I minimize to desktop and return to the game.
Sometimes it does it but today I minimized several times without any problems.

I have no video drop out issues.
I have an AMD Athlon X2 64 4200 I believe for processor
GeForce 7300 Graphics Card..
DirectX 10 all drivers are up to date. The game runs incredibly well, besides this.
No problems running video files either.
