Sure. A little info first, please.

What OS are you using? Mac? Windows? Linux?

What can you tell us about your hardware configuration? In other words, what sort of graphics card are you using?

Also, check the graphical settings. Are you set to use OpenGL or DirectX?

Try using DirectX, first off.

Also, what OS, how much RAM/what type, processor, have you updated your NVidia driver lately, etc.

link to latest --> http://download1.nvidia.com/Windows/61.77/61.77_win2kxp_english.exe

You would be best just going to http://nvidia.com though....

And you should uninstall you old nvidia drivers first....

[Edit} I had real trouble with the .76 drivers, installing the .77 works for me ;p

Here is the link to the latest Windows 2000/XP WHQL certified GeForce drivers. Do not use uncertified Windows drivers on your XP machine!!! The 61.77 drivers are *NOT* WHQL certified. Undesirable effects may result from the use of uncertified drivers.

[EDIT] Installing the uncertified 61.77 drivers caused me a reoccuring BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) linked to the nVidia driver that was only fixed by manually removing all traces of the driver and clearing all references to it in the registy while operating in SAFE MODE.

Here's what's really interesting concerning the NVidia drivers.

I'm running a GeForce 3 Ti500 and the 56.72 Forcewares. I've had no problems at all. Presumably, this is because my card is somewhat older and Vendetta runs on DX8.1 alone, therefore my card and drivers have their feng shui aligned.

So if you have an older card, you might want to roll back drivers if the new ones don't work so well, who knows.
