WFW 3.11 Display Problems.

Well, I have a few old Windows apps I need to run in Windows 3.1, and I also wanted to see if I could get Windows 3.11 up and running on this 900MHz system, which I have. I even got the thing to see FAT32 partitions using a device driver I found online. However, I have run into a couple problems. First of all, if I even attempt to use the drivers for my TNT2 card (Driver v1.55), I have problems.

The main problem I have noticed, is that when I open Netscape Navigator, ANY VERSION, and try to load a web page, Navigator may crash. It appears to be because the page loads too quickly. The crash is obviously a product with my display driver. After it crashes, the system still runs, but the picture on the screen at the moment of the crash, remains. The only parts that are updated are the text on buttons, menus, and the like. However, the text itself stays once it appears onscreen. For instance the text on a button in a window, remains after you click the button. (You never actually see the button however, just the text, but the system reacts to the pressing of the button) I can exit from Windows just fine, once I find my way there, and then restart. But it kinda hinders actually USING my computer. I also want to point out, that when using the standard VGA driver, Netscape NEVER crashes.
Now, if anyone can help:

My system:
Motherboard: ASUS A7V
CPU: AMD Athlon T-Bird 900MHz
RAM: 128MB PC-100 SD-RAM
Video: nVidia TNT2 Pro 32MB AGP Reference board
Sound: Sound Blaster Live! Value
NIC: Generic 10MBps NIC with Realtek 8029 chipset
