My last post is a very specific question to help bowl out a particulare problem.

Is it enabled or not? Your last post is not the same thing!

Have you got Vertical Sync disabled in the game's graphics options menu?

Also go into the dxdiag More Help tab, select the Override button, check Override Refresh Rate Value, input 60 and OK.

In the 'display screen' of directx,
theres a part that says 'direct x features'
Direct Draw shows enabled it also says 'test direct draw
Direct 3d is exactly the same as Direct draw
AGP is enabled but doesn't have 'test AGP' like the other 2

Toxteth_OGrady

Correct.

overide refresh rate is 60. I'll check about the vertical sync, should it be disabled.

Other things to try include:

1. Updating your chipset AGP drivers

2. Tweaking the AGP voltage up a tad in the bios

3. Run Memtest or Prime 95 to check you haven't got a wider system problem.

4. Ensure inside of pc and graphics card are clean/dust free.

5. Try an older version of NVidia drivers more suited to GF2 such as these. If using these, uninstall current vga drivers first and use a 3rd party nvidia driver cleaner (i'll post a link if you wish) before installing new ones.

6. Ignore all above (and previous 30 odd posts) and get yourself a decent graphics card :wall: :rolleyes: (nah - just kiddin' :rotfl:)
