Sometimes when I play soldat for a while and quit and join other games, the screen becomes blurred(textures and everything) and I need to restart the computer. What's the problem? Please help!

Maybe show us a screenshot of that?
Is Soldat the only application that becomes blurred or EVERYTHING?

There are hundreds of free programs to convert BMPs to JPGs (http://www.google.com ;)

The screenshot will tell us if the video card, monitor, or software is causing the problem.

It is just a driver problem of the graphic card. Update the drivers or use others.

And the 52.16 Forceware drivers?

Do any other games have this problem?
(only talk about games that use hardware acceleration)

Are you running any other applications?, ctrl alt del and exit all but explorer and sistray if you are using w9x. Check that your card is correctly refrigerated as well as every other components.
Find other drivers, maybe the one that came with your card.
