      installed it several times and restarted. Nothing. Its all those stupid alphas 3.0 final works fine, dwi works (although for some reason every version i download doesnt have marvs - anyone got a link to dwi with marvs? And any nice skins? ).

      I really want to get SM working, but cant find any alpha versions my comp likes, they all look like that and are clearly unplayable. :[

          i think its cuz u downloading a version that takes up too much space for ur hard drive...so in order for stepmania to fit, they had to take out all the colors to free up space for the program to work on your computer. thats my guess.

            i have 20GB spare, and having no songs makes no difference. I had uninstalled it but thought i'd reinstall it to put a pic on here to show you all and ask for help. I get the same look with all my songs on it. I have no idea why it doesnt work.. someone here must have a good suggestion? Otherwise a link to a new version of dwi (with marvs) would be handy, or a version of SM that should work. Im guessing its some kind of graphics card/drivers issue.. but i dunno enough about that ;/

                      DWI is better than 3.0, yes. Also, there are no versions of DWI with marvelous timings. It may be a problem with your video card... do you have DirectX and OpenGL? Also, check out this list of compataible video cards and make sure your card is listed. http://www.stepmania.com/stepmania/videocards.php
