This is the answer
I received your files
The texture going to the sky or the grass is a symptom of a videocard problem. Try these steps
1 - Check the website of your video card manufacturer and update the drivers
2 - Go to the video setup on your PC (may be different for different versions of Windows and video card); for most, click on an empty part of the windows Desktop, click on Settings->Advanced->Troubleshoot). Back the accelerations slider to the left, one level each time and see if the problem dissapears
3 - Right click on the wallpaper (look for a place without icons)--> Properties--> Settings--> Advanced--> Open GL--> Compatibility Settings--> Force 16 bits--> Apply--> OK
4 - Set your video color depth at 24 or 32 bits ("true color")
5 - Go to
www.microsoft.com/directx, and see what version is current and check if you have this version installed in your computer
6 - Some NVidia card users reported additional problems--> in this case change the color settings from 32 bit to 16 bit
You will find several discussions about this issue in this forum--> perform a search with the words "sky + texture"
