A neighbor with old Compaq and W2K was having video trouble, so I took out 
her nVidia card (TNT and/or Vanta IIRC), and either put in another old video 
card or used the onboard Intel, I don't remember which, but in any event 
solved her problem.

Lots of AGP & PCI video cards cheap on eBay. I'm sure something newer than 
yours, GeForce or Radeon, would be a reasonable solution, and a better 
performer. Maybe even a local puter shop has a junk box full that you could 
pick through for $10 or less.
