Default Graphics Issue

Well I just got GW yesterday and so far I am at the point where I want my money back, spent an hour last night figuring out the netgear router issue and now I have this problem that you see in the screen shots, anyone know a way of fixing this without throwing away more money on another video card.

System Specs:
AMD Sempron 2600+
A-Open Mobo Ak77-600
Geforce FX5200
1 GIG PC2700 DDR

What drivers are you using for your card?

Default drivers

Well I have already tried two different ones, was on 71.89 then tried the omega 66.93 drivers, neither solved the problem. Neither does forcing vsync global or application, nor that little fix listed on the site with it set to best quality.

You may want to check you bios settings regrding agp. there is a nice bios optimization guide at http://www.rojakpot.com/ read through his settings on AGP and give it a try.

While I agree it is important to check AGP settings I have already done that, in fact this mobo and processor are brand new from beginning of march and I wound up having to reinstall everything from scratch. all the drivers are therefore the newest version, plus I check again after that, and my bios is setup correctly. On the flipside this bios optimization guide doesnt really tell you how to optimize your bios, just what everything means in your bios, something else I already knew. Whats worse, this is the only game I have ever had a problem with in the almost two years I have had this graphics card, including things like HL2, Rainbow 6 and so on.
