Default Post SoF 2 and any latest drivers beta and final

I'm running this system
AMD 1600+ XP
Radeon8500 Retail 275/275
30GB Maxtor
MSI KT3 Ultra (not aru model)
sound onboard
optical mouse and lousy keyboard
19" flatron 915ft plus
drivers calatyists 7.2 and the beta 6102
freshly installed XP Pro

I open up SoF 2 mp, connect to the server, play for like 10 min, and than those spots starting to appear in the game. It has a lot of green and purple round spots all over the game. I uninstall the latest final 7.2 drivers, using the uninstall guide provided by driverheaven, installed the latest beta driver, same spots all over. give me a couple of min and i'll upload a pic.

cant show you the screenshot yet, the spots havent appear yet.
the spots seem to appear after maybe an hour or so of playing.
is that normal or something is wrong with my card
it look like a green round spot, in the middle it is fully green and than it fades out. there are also purple. those spots arent big and it just annoying the crap out of me.
anybody know any suggestion on wha i should do.

well, I can say that doesn't happen to me, but I have seen that before, on my buddies GF3... came down to a clean install of drivers to fix it.. maybe try that, and switch to a different set of drivers..

This is putting me at a loss.. do you have any friends with the same video card? if so try swapping it out with that one and see if the problem is still present.. that way you would be able to tell if it was the video card or a problem out side the video card..

If by any chance you live in the Detroit Mich area let me know. I would be glad to help out..
