Have you tried switching between DirectX and OpenGL? However, that's a pretty low-end system. Trainz still has the main CPU do most of the work. Let me put it this way: if I had to choose between upgrading the CPU and upgrading the card, I'd definitely upgrade the CPU.

Hi,

I recently had to replace a failed 3 year Video card in my second computer with a Nvidia GT 240.

I had problems cleaning out the old card's drivers. Just using the Windows uninstaller wasn't enough.
I had to use a Registry cleaner ( try http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner )
then download the latest drivers from Nvidia

If you don't completely clear out all the old video cards software and registry entries it can cause all sorts of problems.

to be honest you should have upgraded your motherboard and cpu to a minimum of a core 2 duo

Well that's kind of what I was getting at.

minimum dual core cpu should be used with trainz as cpu has to work a lot
