Does it show the cursor for your position?

I have noticed that sometimes when I am moving through an area, that the immediate and sometimes large area on the map (the area around the arrow) is black even though areas that I have been through are shown.

I've had this problem too. Though I usually then just save my game, exit and come back..and it's gone. Weird.

Yes it shows the arrow for my position and you can grab it to move around.
But all areas are black ive never seen anything on the local map, been doing all my navigating on the world map.

I had the same thing happen. I had walked under a log and when I was on the other side, the 'fog of war' quit working. It wouldn't reveal anything. I had to walk back under the log to get it working again.

You could probably leave the area and then return to reset it.

Sounds like a driver problem to me.
I recommend going to a good 3-d website and downloading a series of old and new drivers for your card. Then try them in sequence until you find one that works.

By "old" I only mean previous versions that are DX8.1 compatible, not something that was released 2 years ago....
