Did you unistall the old drivers 1st? Also, check for overheating.

The FX5200 is a horrible card for gaming & you would be wise to upgrade.

are you still using windows xp or did you upgrade to vista. Many of those games are no compatible with vista and i saw that same stuff on vista with san andras.

First: fi yousing vista downgrade back to xp
second: tripple check you have the latest drivers and software
third: upgrade to direct x 10. Dload it again even if you have it already (just google direct x
forth: lower all grafics setting int he gam to minimum
fifth: like everyone else said, you may want to get a better graffics card , btu try everything else first, cuz i know cards are expencive and none of us wanna put more money into our already expencive computers
