If all else fails I may get a new graphics card..maybe that will solve the problem...anyway cheers!
Your chance would be 50/50 that you buy another card with an incompatibility with your chipset...I would rather get a (used) AGP mainboard that is known to run fine with your 6600GT. Much cheaper, too...

Just double click the *.reg file (unpack it from the zip archive first) - this will import a key to your registry, enabling the additional options in your GC driver menu. Right click on the desktop --> properties --> select "6600GT" tab. Then go -> AGP settings and find "Other settings".
Second, check the white "Capabiliy" box: Please report what the entries for "Fast Writes" are (GPU, Chipset, OS)

Yes, maybe - but you have to get sure that you get the right drivers for your mobo, otherwise you'll soon be reinstalling again...

There is no checkbox "Fast Writes" in the "other settings"? Then you can try to drag down (left) the slider to '4x', but this won't help much if FW is the real problem. Since this is all you can try then at the moment, give it a shot anyway.

I assume you clicked "Apply" before leaving the driver menu. Then the only way to reduce the AGP speed is via the BIOS again...That's a mess - I just read that the tool "Powerstrip" lets you deactivate FW but don't ask me if this works on your system or where to find that option Do you know the exact model and manufacturer of your mainboard? Tell me please. Maybe Google finds something helpful then...
