ATI 9800XT Help-N2003!!

Hello, My problem is using D3D in N2003. I am getting a horrible flicker on the screen, so much it is un-drivable, but it runs fine in opengl. i want to take advantage of the added framerates i get when using d3d with the ati 9800xt card. My hardware is as follows: AMD 3200- 64bit motherboard ATI 9800 XT video card 1gig ram running 1024x768 have updated nascar patch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
