As in the above link, I would suspect that you have some form of Intel integrated graphics (nVidia and ATI integrated graphics don`t usually have those problems). Although some of the tweaks in that article may help, the best solution would be to buy a new graphics card. If your system has a PCIe slot, that is - some low end systems don't even have one. It wouldn't take much of a graphics card to equal the on-board's performance, so it could be relatively cheap, especially if you get a used one from someone who's upgraded theirs.

its possible too login on a friends computer move the char to another area it sometimes gets around this particular problem. it has to do something with your graphics card. if it onboard id buy a nice cheap card to replace it or try upgrading drivers if it isnt
