Major Video Problems Running Torque

HELP! Assistance/Suggestions needed re my graphics card:
Ok, been working with torque for 4 months now with no problem on my Radeon x1050 video card and then today I went and upgraded my motherboard and harddrive. I reloaded XP and the Radeon drivers, did all the updates, but when I run torque it has major problems. In D3D mode it has crazy lighting problems on all the levels, and in OpenGL mode it looks INSANE with all kinds of lines and shapes flickering all over the place. HELP! Any suggestions?
I already tried uninstalling the Radeon drivers and reinstalling various versions,
I tried loading the latest DirectX
I tried messing with the AGP settings on my new MB to make sure they are all correct....
Tried several other games including Half-Life 2, etc. and they all work fine but torque is a no go
Any help would be much appreciated, I hate to have to buy a new graphics card but if it comes down to it...

Place it in your script, for example in starter.fps/main.cs

Dunno if it will help but you could give this a try.Place it in your script, for example in starter.fps/main.cs
$pref::OpenGL::disableEXTCompiledVertexArray = "1"; $pref::TS::UseTriangles = "1";

I would suggest hardware upgrade. That's antique hardware (no offense intended).

Did you upgrade directX? Run DXDIAG and run all the tests. Does it say acceleration enabled?I would suggest hardware upgrade. That's antique hardware (no offense intended).

We also have this kind of problems, especially when we talk ATI and Vista and it is for both TGE and TGEA. On my computer (XP, GeForce 7600 GT and 2 Gb. RAM), TGEA is very dark and have low FPS? So something is wrong someplace?
Worst-case. What can we tell our future customers when they come back with these kinds of problems?
We don't have this problems with other games, (OpenGL and D3D), so I think Torque have a "little" problem here :-O.
