hi guys i had an issue with missing textures with my system. i did some googling and found a few people had this problem under windows 7 x64 and ati cards. seems to be with the latest patch (1.5) textures disapear.
i also got flickering textures in wow aswell. maybe this is driver related but tried rolling back and all my textures were still missing or corrupted.
*FIX*
I found that disabling WDM.exe process (which manages your aero theme and makes it look all pretty) solved the problem in both bf2 and wow.

also disabling the WDM.exe process does'nt make anything look funny or make anything go wrong. Just simply disables part of aero and your colour scheme.

hope this helps others

title was misleading so i gave it an edit for you :) let me know if you dont like it/want it changed further
 
nah thats cool whatever makes it more helpful. plus ive just woke up so ......whatever :)
 
it made it sound like you needed help, when you're actually offering a workaround for the problem.
 
yeah i suck at posts, better at asking for help! but i do hope it helps others as i thought it was my drivers ....then i was scared as i though i had messed up my gfx card through over clocking. but in the end was quite a simple fix really :) thanks for editing it for me

Sweet Thanks Reefer86
 
Disabling anti-aliasing works as well. Not that you want to disable AA, just sayin'.
