Direct 3D Acceleration

I have a Nvidia TNT2 Model 64 PCI card that I just installed after upgrading to XP. With Direct 3D acceleration activated, I crash constantly in the Plus! aquarium screen saver (after it runs for about 5 minutes). With it turned off, the quality is extremely poor and the action is very slow. The screen saver is not important to me, but it does seem to highlight a problem. I've installed the XP drivers from Nvidia and Aopen, but they haven't helped. I also have not been able to use my game Alice on XP. When I contacted EA, they said that the only video card that will work is Nvidia - which I have and with the correct updates. But when I try to run the game, I get either a scrambled screen or no display whatsoever with either setting - 3D on or off. Does anyone have any advice for me? Thanks!

i am being for real on this. your video card SUCKS. a lot of people will agree with me on that one too. tnt cards are a thing of the past. the days of computers that ran less than 450mhz. geforce 2 cards are the thing now. geforce 2 mx400 with 64mb of ram on it can be had for a bout $125. go get one and tell me what your system does then. and use the lastest nvidia drivers when you do install it. trust me on what i say that is your problem your slow pathetic video card.
