Hi, all of my older games like fallout, doom, wolfenstein, TES arena, and spear of destiny, when i play them, the pixels are colored strange in rainbow colors. I upgraded from vista, and I have installed drivers and still isn't normal

If that doesn't work, try killing explorer.exe in Task Manager. That's the only thing that worked for me with some older games. You can restart it via the File>>New Task in Task Manager when your game is over. Just enter explorer.exe when you get the prompt. :)
