But I'm not getting a response. So here's my question again. Maybe 1 of you would know what to do.

Ok. It goes like this.
I have a;
AMD 64 Athlon 3000+ (2.0GHz), nVidia Geforce FX 5700LE, 758MB of RAM, Windows XP Home (with SP2).
(this computer was Custom-Built from my Computer Repair Guy, and has no name)

I had a nVidia GeForce FX 5200 Video Card. I tried to play 18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal, and it wouldn't run.
So I tried to upgrade the drivers. I got the 77.72 Drivers. Everything seemed ok.

Then I wanted to play Half-Life 2, but it said that my card is not a DirectX 7.0 Card.
I asked around, and they told me to get these 71.89 drivers for it.
I did, and overwrited the new ones.

EVER since then, I've been having Hardware Glitches here and there, with ALL of my games. What I mean by gliches, is things that suddenly appear and go away, and the screen going grey and just non-normal stuff.

I called my Computer Repair guy and he told me that, that card "isn't compatiable" with SP2, so I got my 5700LE, and it was no better. SAME glitches.

So, I tried to COMPLETLY uninstall the drivers, and get the 71.89 drivers back. THAT didn't help! :(

So I'm out of ideas. I've tried everything I could think of. Even tried to mess with the settings. Even that didn't help. So I desperatly need professional help with this. Should I reformat? What should I do? :(

Please assist.

So, can youall help me out here? ;(
