Do you have the game resolution and color depth set the same as your desktop? If not try that...

what is your desktop resolution? what is your game resolution? I had that same problem with a gforce 3, but disabling paletized colors cleared it up immediately. What vid card/os/etc...

I had the same problem with the "latest" driver and my GF2 GTS.

When I used an older driver the problem went away.

It won't hurt to try.
