Problems with Visiontek GF3 Ti 200

For some reason when I run Quake 3 or Tribes 2, I get screen crawl either with the HUD in-game or with the menu/console. I also notice that I get the same problem (but no where near as apparent) when I access the BIOS. I tried two cards already and both seem to be giving me problems. I do have a Creative GF2 that I had in the system before and I've never had such a problem before. If anyone has any ideas about what could be wrong, please send them my way. At first, before I noticed it in the BIOS, it seemed like a refresh rate problem, cause I've seen that before; unfortunately, that wasn't the case. FYI, I have the Asus CUV266. Thanks in advance!

I had to try two cards too, then I found that my sound card was causing a conflict.
Try pulling the sound card and see what happens. Then reinstall the sound card. I reinstalled into a different PCI slot, and it solved my problem. (took a couple of days to figure this out, had even done a fresh install of winxp.)

Actually, I think I figured out what my problem is... though, I'm not too sure of a fix... it seems that I can't play any game below 1024*768, otherwise I'll get screen crawling... as a matter of fact, if I run anything below 1024, it happens, even on the desktop. I'm pretty sure that it's an AGP driver issue, yet I tried the latest (and some older) versions, all coming up with the same problem. However, certain drivers would affect each game differently, as in the problems would either start at the main menu, or be fine there and pop up in one of the sub-menus. It's really strange. I just decided to run all my games at 1024 now, even though there are many I'd prefer not to run so high... such as Q3A (only cause I prefer 640*480). I wonder if anyone else has this problem, too... please post if anyone else has. If I didn't mention earlier, the card is good cause I tried it in another system and it worked perfectly... and I already know it can't be something wrong with my other hardware, cause my GF2 works great. Removing all excess components, other than video, doesn't seem to have an affect either.

Adjust screen position using monitor controls. I mean those buttons located on a monitor itself.
It'll stay there, survives reboot too.
