Sorry to say but your grafix card is history eg: its going to die .... I have seen this happen loads of times on systems I get to fix its only consistant with apps that use the most out of your card.

If this is a newish card you have and the drivers are correct and updated right, then there is 2 possible problems

1. Either you have old OEM drivers still on your system, and the latest ones eg: NVIDA chipset drivers that have a conflict with the old INI and .DLL files from the cards driver cd

2. Your monitor may not support the refresh rate needed to display grafix for you card correctly , For eg my card is 256mb fx5600 geforce and it only works properly at a screen refresh of 85 Hertz and over

See if you can borrow a diff card off a friend unistall th edrives for yours first and tell device manager that you want to remove it , shut down your system , install the diff card , restart install drivers for that card in then try...

If that dont work then ask your friend to bring his / her monitor also and plug that in, I am sure a combination of tril and error with doing this will identify what the problem is...

Like I say I have to do this a lot , Normaly its a dead grafix card, drivers being 2nd and then monitor beging 3rd on list

Hope this helps
