KS display problem

A couple weeks ago, I attempted to update my graphics card drivers and ended up completely screwing up my Windows installation. So, I reinstalled Windows, and this week I've been busy reinstalling the stuff I lost in the process.

Now I'm getting this annoying problem in Kilrathi Saga (1 and 2 only, I don't have 3 installed), where the picture is way too high up on my monitor, and the top of the image actually wraps around and appears at the bottom of the screen. I've tried to fix this using auto-alignment and manual position adjustment, but even at the lowest possible position, the image is still around 30 pixels too high. This problem didn't exist before the disaster.

The same problem occurs with my X-COM Collector's Edition, so apparently the problem is with these retrofitted DOS games... but I haven't a clue as to how I might fix it.

Anybody able to offer some advice?
 
You might possibly have a "half-baked" install of the graphics drivers.
I guess try to reinstall the latest version again?
 
Did you remember to recheck Windows 95 compatibility mode and try the different forced options (256 colors/640x res/etc)? Try setting your resolution and color depth down before launching the game. Also try disabling FSAA and any other fancy things your video card might be trying to do that causes a conflict.
