That sounds like old videocard drivers to me with the Sponge Bob game. Same thing with Zoo Tycoon 2. The onboard video on your computer undoubtedly sucks, however, and could be causing some of the problems.
For $100-$150 I suggest ordering an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB 256-bit memory interface. You won't find a better deal. You'll have to disable the onboard video in BIOS most likely to get the new videocard to work.
The only thing to watch out for when putting in the new videocard is static shock. Unplug the computer and touch a screwdriver to the metal pieces in the computer to discharge the electricity. Then firmly press the videocard into the AGP slot. It should click in fine!
