I have some news.
I think I have nailed the final coffin on this matter(you could all call me triangle slayer

)
I have meneged to bring my old PC up and running. it is an:
Intel P4, 3.0Ghz
Intel D-865Perl Mainboard
Radeon X800
a freshly nstalled WinXp
I have tried Drivers 7.4 8.3 and 8.4.
7.4 worked perfectly while the later two showed the triangles.
