I recently purchased a brand new video, a 512 MB NVIDIA GeForce 6200 -- definitely not top of the line but a very good quality card. After installing the card properly (removing old drivers, installing the new ones, etc.), it appeared to be working correctly. However, when I started up a PC game (World of Warcraft), many graphical glitches made themselves known.

These glitches included lines/shapes of various colors blinking around the screen, literally less than a second each, but continuously nonetheless. It happens more often when there is more rendering going on the screen so I'm not quite sure what the problem is.

I've went through the card configuration multiple times, the in-game video settings, updating the video driver, updating my chipset and even testing it in other PC's (it works fine in two others without problems), but I cannot get it working on mine. Anybody have any suggestions?

I have a 2ghz P4 processor and 1.5GB RAM with Windows XP. I'd appreciate any help.

I have an Acer laptop which is partitioned; I'm not sure if this is something to do with the factory install or if another technician did this to my mate’s laptop.

I rebuilt the C: partition from factory install assuming this would clear both out and merge them to one. This is not the case. C: is now built and working fine and all sweet.

Ideally I need to delete the other partition all together without any effect on the C: I do not want to do a factory install as this may get rid of the C: again as it gave me no option.

If I cannot do that, need to safely delete all the files on this other drive and then reduce the size of this and move the storage over to the C: drive.

What is the best way to do this? Get rid of the drive or reduce the size of this. Please provide as detailed instructions as possible.
