hi everyone,

my families computer is an athlon xp 1600+ w/ 256mb ram, winxp, a gainward geforce 4 ti 4200 64mb. i had the 40.72 detonator drivers installed, and now i have the 41.09 regular drivers for winxp along with directx 9 installed. i also have the via Hyperion drivers installed. the problem is simple it seems. all games before directx 8 (half-life, test drive 6, trickstyle, tony hawk 2, nhl 2002) all work fine. but if i try to run the 3dmark 2001 benchmark - it crashes back to windows. or i get a BSOD. or in the splinter cell demo, it always crashes and gives some crazy error. it seems like it'd be a memory error, but i don't understand why the other games work then? could it be anything else?? are there other drivers i should try?? thanks!

I had the same problems with the beta 41.09 drivers that are the most current ones at this time. Going back to the WHQL 40.72 drivers solved those problems for me and should for you, too.:)
