Default Nvidia 6200 Video Card & SH3

I bought my brother a copy of SH3 last year. He never really got into it at the time, but now that GWX is out, I have sold him on the idea of giving SH3 a try. I went to his house tonight and installed SH3 for him. The game loads fine, but it will not load past a certain point once you try to do something. I tried to go into the naval academy and do a frame rate count, but it rebooted the computer when it began to load. I can get to the options screen and choose what I want to do, but once it starts to load the academy exercise it locks or reboots. I tried a number of things, including reinstalling or deleting the intro videos but to no avail.

He has recently replace his old video card with an Nvidia 6200, which may be the culprit. His Civ4 crashes, too. I installed the card myself along with the most recent driver set from Nvidia's website. His computer did run SH3 a while back, long before he installed this new card, so I know his machine can run it. He has a P4 @ 2.66 GHz, 2 GB of RAM. The video card has 256 MB.

I looked around for advice about this but haven't had any luck. I'm hoping someone here might have some advice. Thanks.
