    Shadow Map Issue

    When I play the game with Shadow Maps on I get horrible black boxes on all the objects in game

    If I turn off shadow maps everything is fine. I have
    Uninstalled/reinstalled Drivers even used driver clean software etc.
    Updated direct x (just installed Mar 2009 dist).
    Uninstalled game removing any traces of files folders registry settings etc I could find.

    I have run the game in Windows 7 Beta on a separate partition (same PC) and I do not get the problem.

    I only get the problem in Bioshock, I get no other gfx probs in any other games I play eg: Crysis, Farcry 2, Halflife, UT3, GTA4, etc..

    Can anyone help please?

    Are you forcing Anti-Aliasing (AA) in the nVidia control panel applet? If so try to disable that and post back with the results.
