When i play games on winxp all my games glitch.
All programs run fine except games are GLITCHY AS HELL!!!


MY SPECS:

933 pent. 3
768 RAM
GEFORCE 3 TI 200 128mb


What is the problem, i have updated drivers and messed around with game settings.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!
 
Have you optimised the VGA settings in the bios?
AGP 4X etc.
Latest Nvidia drivers for XP from Nvidia site.
XP already has Direct X 8.1 so no need to do anything there.
Latest chipset drivers for the motherboard
Make sure the graphics card is physically seated properly, reseat.
What R these settings you have tweaked? in the games?
Some games do have patches found on there websites.
Have you checked the graphics cards cooling fan is blowing properly, they can seize and appear to work OK in non stress apps but gliche in heavey 3D.
Overall cooling of system, how hot is it running?
Have you additional case fans.
If the problem is heat related try taking the side off and blow cool air into the case with a desk top fan, if everthing runs fine then you know you have a cooling related problem. Martin Just trying to help, sometimes falling short, I am only human after all.
 
The cooling didn't work cause the room is already cold and I can see all the fans working inside the computer. The graphics card is already in fine also. Do u have any other ideas what it could be?
 
how do u optamize agp settings in bios?
 
how do i optomize vga settings too? thanx alot
