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!
