ff8 PC geforce problem

[cloudclone]

For Final Fantasy VIII PC, i use win98 with geforce 2 mx 400 graphics card, athlon xp 1800+ 256 ddr ram.
when running game, the screen is blinking with many colorful lines (yellow, gray, etc.). what is the problem? i use 32 bit res and 800 * 600.

What NVidia driver version are you using? What version of DirectX?

dx 8.1 newest..
i think geforce driver is late version, i just bought it.

Buying the card recently does not guarentee that it is distributed with the most recent drivers. Actually, most of the time there is always an updated driver. I would goto Nvidia's website (http://www.nvidia.com) and download the latest Detonator driver (41.09). Please follow the installing instructions.

I've updated my FF8 with the GeForce update, I downloaded/installed the latest NVdidia. but still my ff8 doesn't work.. I tried to remove win98se and install again, but it doesn't work with my Geforce 2 mx....
