Candle/Torch light problem

[Urrah]

Man I can't catch a break with this game, even after I update my driver and finally get it working there's one thing that's killing the immersion for me.

For some reason whenever I'm not facing a candle or torch the light emitting from them cuts out. To be clear, when there's a candle on my screen the room I'm in is lit up, but when I turn around the light disappears, leaving me in pitch black.

I've tried updating my driver again and tweaking the graphics options, and so far nothing has worked. It's not the worst problem in the world but it's a constant reminder that I'm in a game, I find that it really breaks the atmosphere.

Can anybody help me, or is anyone experiencing the same problem?

Oh, btw my computer's a 32 bit Windowns XP and my graphics card's an ATI Radeon 3870.

sigh... I am alone.

Forgive me for bumping my own topic, it's just that I'm desperate for help.

I've continued tinkering with the graphics and I've discovered that the lighting works perfectly when I don't have full screen enabled. Does anyone know why this might be, is something in the coding changed when switching between the two screen options?

Devs, anyone? Not being able to play Amnesia properly is draining my sanity, I fear soon I will be crawling on the ground with blurry vision while screaming incessantly.

EDIT: Had a look in my hlp log and found this right after experiencing my lighting problems.

I've uploaded the full log as well, hope somebody can help me.

EDIT 2: Just added another log from a different savegame. To be clear, I'm not getting the errors ("Could not find light"/"does not exist anymore") in the log or the lighting problems when I don't run the game in full screen.
