Default GTA, GTA London blinking, flickering screen

I've got annoying problem: when I start a GTA game, choose player and the city, my screen starts to show garbage. It blinks showing messed up textures. I tried to run it in DOS mode with DOSBox and everything works fine, but GTA London is Windows-only, so my problem comes back. I changed properties to run in Windows 98 mode, but it shows me that it is "unable to link to KERNEL32.dll", despite the fact this library is in windows/system32 folder. Anyone had this problem with that game and knows how to answer my question?

BTW I've tried to make a screenshot with messed up graphics, but it turn out to be fine Now I have no idea what could be wrong.

OS? Drivers? Graphic card?

Most likely the kernel32.dll in your version of Windows no longer has some of the functionalities that were present in the Windows 95/98 one. Hardly surprising.

Windows XP sp3, fresh install, GeForce8600GT and nVidia Drivers + DirectX9.0c. I remember I could play this game, but I don't know under what circumstances.
