If you have ATI graphics cards in those machines, hop on ATI's website and
get updated drivers. Also explore turning down or off video card hardware
acceleration in Windows>Control panels>Display... . Also make sure you are
not running the video cards at maximum settings (no need for 32bit True
color and 1600x1200 maximum setting, refer to recommended settings by
manufacturer).
Also update your mouse drivers (MS Intellimouse work best, it does not
matter who's mouse you have), make sure your Windows is up to date with all
it's patches. Place LT in the Exclusions section.
All your add-ons (ZIP drives etc.) need to have updated drivers too. Your
anti-virus software needs to be turned off (or set to default factory
settings at best): remove any so called 'crash-proof' software if you got
it.
There are also patches for LT2002 that address graphics issues, see if that
helps too.
