Default Game flashes with new video card - 12-27-2003, 12:34 AM

For christmas I got a new geforce fx 5200 PCI 128mb video card. Previously I was using an integrated graphics card that came with my gateway. So I installed the new graphics card and got it working. But in MOHAA when I take out my gun, my screen starts flashing the color of the player and gun. This doesn't happen at all when my gun is away.

Somebody has told me that it may be because my computer is reading both video cards. Well when I disabled the integrated one, my monitor wouldn't show anything.

The flashing doesn't happen in any other game I've played so far. I've played CoD and command and conquer generals.

Anybody have any idea why my game flashes?

What do you mean? What settings should I check.

And where do you think is the best place to look for updated drivers?

I also get these little red spots on some buldings, like the church in Destroyed Village. Maybe that will help figure out what's going on?

Direct X 9.0b (4.09.0000.0902)

NVIDIA FX5200
nv4_disp.dll ver 6.14.0010.4403

These work for me.

OK guys, thanks for the help.
I reinstalled all of the drivers and got the newest ones and the problem went away.

I do see some colored spots on the ground occasionally though. I'm guessing this is from texture compression.
