OK, since everyone seems slow on the draw about this, what's the verdict on these (21.83).

 

[fallenang3l]

Gah! nVidia's site is overloaded and I can't download anything at acceptable speeds. Can anyone send 21.83 executable for 2K/XP to me @ sixpackguy@earthlink.net. Thanks.

 

[Cheep]

Yeah, the site seems to be more constipated than Fat Albert after a bucket 'o cheez wiz. Hhhhey hey hey!

[Boogak]

Anyone know if these fix the problems crashing when exiting from DAoC under Win2k/XP?

When changing drivers in WinXP, should I change to a generic driver and then install, or just run the install for the new drivers?

 

[KrispyKremer]

But I thought the last rev owned?

 

[Random Variable]

is the date on the 21.83 drivers 9/14/01?

i just do device-manager=>update driver and didnt have any problems, and in case something goes wrong, you can always do device-manager=>roll back driver

These drivers suck. I hoped they would solve the "infinite loop" error of 21.81's but NOOO, windows XP just froze again. Next time I'm getting ATI. Here's the windows log file:
