GeForce 2 GTS (DirectX?) probs

I recently bought a Creative GeForce 2 GTS 32Mb AGP, and am having problems
running DirectX games (Project IGI, Unreal T, Insane.......).  Most of the
time the system hangs and I get a thin green line across the top of my
screen.

Before I reformatted, Insane worked all the time, IGI occasionally but since
i reformatted, they wont work AT ALL.

Open GL works perfectly.

I have a P2 400, 384Mb RAM,  FIC (First International) VB610 motherboard and
Win 98.

I would be really gratefull if anyone had any suggestions!!

Thanks
Matt

try som new drivers or upgrade to dx8.  If you upgrade to dx8 keep the 6.31
drivers. i have dx 8 and 6.31 and it boosted my 3dmarks by 1000 marks
