Just to be sure on Gfx driver, the best set of drivers for a TNT, TNT2 or basically any nVidia chipset, are the Detonator 6.18 from www.nvidia.com.

You might want to try going back to DirectX 7, and see if that is better.

I had a bad time with games when my Network Card was conflicting the sound and problem fixed by moveing it to another PCI slot. Do you have a Network Card?

Here is a gamers trouble shooting forum http://www.nzfortress.co.nz/

More info on System and games for more accurate help would be good.

Ken.
