Gaming problem (GF4)

A friend of mine is having trouble gaming with his GeForce 4

He's had it for a while, and never had problems until recently

In some games, the textures are spreading themselves all over the screen

Since this happened, he has tried updating Motherboard drivers, Direct X drivers and Detonators all to the latest versions. All to no avail

I'll update this post with a screenshot he's getting for me soon


Any ideas?

Thanks,

Image attached

Apparently, the screenshot here looks different when pasted to what it did when he took it

So, it's not showing the full effect, but you get the idea!

This one shows him being able to see through a wall...

Maybe a game patch needed?

Are those VIA 4-in-1 drivers? Perhaps going back to older AGP drivers would help?

Is it only in this game or are others effected?

What about general use, any corruption whilst, surfing, office apps, etc.........?
