Whenever I skip past the intro movies of the game and get to the main menu I see jagged horizontal lines and the screen flickers a lot, but I can still see the menu behind it, go in game and the same thing happens while playing. It is just really unplayable like this. I looked in the NWN toolset to see if anything similar happened and when I open an area it doesn't display anything where the area would normally come up, only a solid grey box but I can right-click and see the lighting tile properties or whatever as per usual. There's just nothing there. Below is a list of things I've tried then some info about my laptop:
Uninstalled/Reinstalled NWN multiple times
Uninstalled/Reinstalled drivers CLEAN
Double-checked for correct drivers
Set the game (nwn.exe and nwmain.exe) to run as administrator in properties with windows xp sp3 compatibility, installed critical rebuild, etc
Disabled visual themes
Tried running in windowed mode (I only see a black screen like this but when I alt+enter I can see the game menu/in game, but with the jagged horizontal lines & flickering)
I have tried every resolution and the lowest possible graphic settings
When I run the game in safe mode, or with no nvidia display drivers there is no issue aside from the game running slow with the 1hz refresh rate and some models are white.. but that is the only thing that seems to get rid of the lines and flickering.
NWN is the only game I have this problem in as well. I installed NWN2 recently to see if I could run it on this laptop (low end fps but no lines/flickering)

Processor Intel® Core2 CPU T5600 @ 1.83GHz

if anyone has any suggestions.. dont hesitate to..... suggest lol
