I think the problem is that you're likely on the very bottom edge of MII:TW support. You have a GFX card that's 2.5 generations behind the current models (and uses AGP over the now-standard PCIe x16), and you are on DDR1 ram instead of DDR2.

You should replace the Motherboard, and get a PCIe graphics card (even a Geforce 6x00 series or Radeon x800, if you want to stay cheaper), as well as an Athlon clocked above 2.0 GHz (or if you want to shell out for a Core 2 Duo...). Your hard drive is fine if it's SATA I, but if it's PATA (also called ATA), you might want to grab a newer one.

I'm not sure if that is the problem..I got something very similar... try turning off "combined writing" - right click on desktop, click on properties, then under "advanced" on the settings tab you should see the check-box for it...try that, after I did this, no more wierd graphical glitches for me...
