The most obvious solution to try and solve your problem would be to install the latest drivers for your Geforce card as well as you motherboard.
<BR>Also make sure that you have the latest version of directx8.1 installed. After installation of directx, go to the DirectX diagnostics and run all the tests to see if everything is working fine. <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_smile.gif">

<BR>thanx <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif">

Might also be a good idea to update your sound card drivers.
