I got a 733MHz P3 running off a VIA 133 board. Its got 128MB of RAM and a 32MB Riva TNT2. However, I simply cannot run any kind of graphical stuff on it.

Even the DirectX tests won't run. My machine just gets hung. Some games show their intros and then freeze up.

Even movie files (avi, mpg) makes my system freeze.

I think its something to do with the drivers, but I'm not too sure. Can someone point me to the right direction?

Thanx.

Regards,
Pranav.

With all NVidia chip based cards that I have used, it is better to throw the CD Driver disk that came with the card in the trash and then Download the most current driver straight from NVidia. The good thing about NVidia based cards is that there is only one software program for all of them.
