Some say they're what landed at Roswell in 1947, and that their right eye sees infrared light. All we know is, they're called The Stigandr.

My new nVidia Geforce 9500GT is quite nice for many games.
Escape Velocity Nova is not one of them.
I get a lot of flickering horizontal lines all over the screen whenever I play it in fullscreen. Windowed is fine. Screenshot.
Imperishable Night also has some interesting issues on the menus, but at least it's fine in-game. Interestingly, though, that game's issues are there both full-screen and windowed.

EVN doesn't use a disk, so I'm reasonably sure that's not going to be the issue. 
Orlandu: I'm on XP, which the (Windows port of the) game was originally released on AFAIK. Likewise, before the video card upgrade, I didn't have any problems. So I'm reasonably sure it's not an OS issue.
paulguy: So far I've just tried turning on VSync, which fixed nothing. I don't want to dick around too much with it without guidance because I'm trying not to screw anything else up; this is the first time I've ever had a non-integrated video card, so I'm really not sure exactly what I'm doing.
Edit: Right, also tried changing the refresh rate, but that didn't help either.
The weird thing is, if I set it to 1024x768 Windowed, it runs without a problem, but the same resolution fullscreen causes this.

Just a thought, but if I remember correctly, I've seen something similar when my dad overclocked his video card. Could be wrong though, it was quite a while ago.

Can you change the resolution of the game itself to match your desktop resolution? I'm guessing it has something to do with a scaling issue, then.

That is my desktop resolution - windowed was 800x600 before.
Windowed it's fine. Fullscreen 1024x768 isn't. Fullscreen 800x600 has the same problem.
