I've been getting a really strange display issue lately. It only affects certain games, and I can't take a screenshot of the problem since "print screen" doesn't show any gfx errors. I've seen it in The Sims 2, True Crime, Tetris Worlds and Dungeon Siege for sure. My specs are:

Video card - GeForce FX 5200 AGP
Driver - ForceWare 66.93
System RAM - 512mb
CPU - Athlon XP @ 1700mhz
OS - XP pro SP2
DirectX - 9.0c

Is there anything the games I listed have in common? Like a certain type of rendering mode? The display is worst in True Crime, in case that helps.

Yeah, I'm going to have to go with what Trapster has already said. One of the first things I ask clients to check at work is if they have the most recent driver, and if they don't, I ask them to get it and see if it solves the problem.

That said, video isn't my strong point, but in general this goes for most hardware anyways....
