Please give me some information on how to fix this without just buying a new video card (lol stupid agp x4 and no pci-x so just better to buy whole new comp really.)

Mate you gotta post what game your running, os version, direct x version, and maybe the specs of your rig.

my suggestions, try reinstall the game, then install the latest forceware drivers for the video card, if this doenst help, then get old drivers (like 40 or 60) and try it out.
Then try reinstall directx, i also reckon that you should check the readme of the game for any known issues with geforce 4's, maybe the game needs pixel shading, or some weird texture support.

post back if you still have probs.

regards

edit: some parts of the error look look memory problems, are you sure your not running a new game on windows 98 or me,
or the otherway round, an old game on xp (some games like might and magic 7 jack up)
