Mouse cursor moves, video image lags behind.

Using Win2KPro. Have not yet downloaded SP1, SP2, or the MS Compatibility file(s). Only problems with move from 98SE to 2KPro have, so far, been a scanner exe. file sucking up resources, and a Logitech driver that caused a reboot when coming back from sleep mode.

Using Win2KPro. Have not yet downloaded SP1, SP2, or the MS Compatibility file(s). Only problems with move from 98SE to 2KPro have, so far, been a scanner exe. file sucking up resources, and a Logitech driver that caused a reboot when coming back from "sleep mode". These have been removed. Other than these, the change from 98 to 2K has been fairly painless.
 
Here's the game question. Loaded Warzone 2000; game plays; sound works; etc, but there is a momentary lag-time between moving the mouse cusor and when the screen scrolls; and, when things blow up, the explosions show on screen as white boxes of various sizes that slowly fad. Neither occurred when playing under Win98SE. Using older Diamond Viper550 w/ newest TNT drivers I can find.
 
From my description, am I dealing with a game-compatibility or old video card issue, or something else? Haven't tried loading the other games I "used to" play: East Front, East Front II, West Front, Caesar II, Shogun, Recoil.
