ok, maybe someone can help me!!!
I'm getting really pissed off now!!! I dont know what's going on with WinXP, but i find if i do something quickly on my box, like click on a movie or switch website windows too quickly, i keep getting a BSOD. And always with something about NV_disp
I have tried about 6 different det drivers and @ somepoint, i get the BSOD with the nv_disp error. I have completely wiped out previous versions of the det drivers before installing new ones. and it always ends the same.

Can someone help me?

Besides that, WinXp is extremly stable, I can overclock and do more things with it than i could with Win98 and Winme!!!

All the Nvidia drivers on XP have some "issues". I crash in certain games when the game changes video modes. Some of this is related to their overuse of a chipset feature, so make sure you have a recent bios on your motherboard and wait for them to fix drivers. God how I wish they had 3dfx's driver team. Least their drivers didn't crash stuff all the time.

I run Windows XP with the Nvidia Geforce 2 GTS chip. The only working solution I've found is using the Nvidia reference driver from the Nvidia site. The card manufacturer drivers don't work with XP well at all. Go to Nvidia's site and get the detonator reference driver for XP. They released a new XP compliant driver in late December. Remove your current driver first though. Apply the standard VGA driver and then apply the detonator driver. Had the same prob until I did that.
