I'm assuming you uninstalled your old drivers first?

[BDFtaylor18]

reinstall the game again, i heard the if u get a new video card u have to reinstall BF2 again so it works good...

and by the way, now im scared im thinking (well, im saving for) getting that same video card

Do you have a mobo with a SIS chipset on it? My mate had exactly the same card as you and using it on and athlon 754 based system and had major problems. In the end he sent the card back. There are people saying that the 6600GT has problems with the SIS chipset .

Also what do you mean in your sig where you refer to your P4 as 2 cpu's?

I've got Leadtek GF6600GT and it works perfect. No problems after installing newest ForceWare.

How do i found out if I have a SIS chipset and I just tried to reinstall the game and its doing the same thing, and i was also wondering if my display settings for the card were wrong because when i watch videos it does the same thing BF2 does

also i just tried to install splinter cell and after i installed it, it said my video card or drivers might be to old, and i have already downloaded new drivers???
and heres what splinter cell looks like

I had exactly the same issue and my m/b was sis chipset - bought a spanky new intel motherboard and its been fine (and it got me some extra memory slots as well!).

[BDFtaylor18]

well dang i dont have the money to get a new motherboard, im sure theres a way to fix it without buying anything else

[Sir. S.A.S]

well try down clocking the card to see what happens watch its tempeatures, Reinstall drivers all the nvidia ones, and try omega ones or roll back to older nvidia ones. update your bios ETC

[BDFtaylor18]

how do i update my bios?

[Sir. S.A.S]

what MOBO do you have?

[BDFtaylor18]

Intel Pentuim 4 CPU 3.00GHz
