3dmark2001 and 7.52 drivers - help!

Ok weird problem going on here:

When it gets onto the third benchmark (Dragothic or whatever) it hangs about 3s in usually, although the time varies.

I thought this might be an overclocking problem so i clocked down to 1Ghz and tried again. Now when i click "Benchmark" the whole program quits!

I tried using the 11.01 drivers and the problem disapears. However using 11.01 my OpenGL performance drops. In Q3demo127 (1024x768x32 HQ) i get 55.1fps, where as i normally get 71.4fps in 7.52.

Help me, i want my 7.52's back!

P.S. Running:
Win2k / Win98SE dual boot
AXIA T-bird 1Ghz @ 1.4Ghz
Iwill KK266-R
GeForce2 GTS 32mb
256mb Crucial PC133
VIA 4in1 v4.29





 
Arg!

I tried other 7.XX series drivers and the problem remains. Although now it seems that the problem affects all D3d programs.

The benchies in 3dMark 2000 also hang. What the hell could be causing this?

At last i've solved it!

Couple of days earlier i had set in the BIOS to reserve IRQ 5 for the soundcard, and afterwards i forgot to cancel this in the BIOS.

Ever since then this has somehow boRked out D3d.
