Cursor curruption with Viper 2 and KT133a, AGP Driving Control value?

Every time windows media player or realplayer starts playing I get some currption along the middle of the screen as well as the cursor. I know this has to be a problem with the VIA chipset since the card worked fine on my BX machine under the same drivers/OS.
My guess that having the AGP driving control on auto isn't cutting it. Does anyone know which AGP driving control I should use for a Rev. A viper2 card?

Okay it was the most unlikely fix. I tried everything from disabling cursor accel to unskinning the cursor(as suggested by people in s3 boards), but neither worked. Well it turned out the Viper2 did not like an underclocked AGP bus. My KK266 set at 133 actually yields 132.2 mhz, so my AGP was slightly underclocked. Well I was happen to be testing the limit of my RAM and when I started with 140mhz, it actually fixed the curruption problem. I lowered to 135 for stability since I'm using PC100 ram, and it is working fine.
