Is your monitor TFT or CRT, if CRT did you ensure the refresh rate is
correct. Sometimes the default 60Hz is set after you install the drivers. (I
don't if it will affect the games though, it seemed to have an effect on
mine with tearing or flashing in dragon tiles)

This is a known bug with nVidia's drivers. I'm not sure if their beta
drivers fix this issue or not, perhaps somebody who has gone through this
issue can comment. :-)
