well what drivers are you currently using? you can goto a site such as warp2search.com and get alot of the beta drivers there. as for drivers to use it kinda depends on system and such when it comes to beta's, some betas work for some people and not others, ya gotta play around.

You might just want to try the lastest nVidia drivers @ guru3d.com

Currently I'm using the 27.70

Be sure to install them correctly, uninstall the card, reboot, hit to safe mode and install in there.

i just reinstalled an earlier driver and it worked fine.. i found that 23.11 works the best for all my games

Might be the fact that their nVidia passed, their offical drivers, and WHQL certified..

Beta drivers are a give and go and a 50/50 on whether you get good performance or bad.

Helmut

Thx all!
You've given me some leeds on how to proceed!

I used the 23.11 ref drivers earlier and they didn't work so I'll reinstall XP and try some beta drivers!

Did you uninstall the card before reinstalling the new drivers?

using NVMAX version 40049 (see startpage xp-erience march 15 2002: it has an option to overzome the BOSD caused by Nvidia dll.

also check out http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=77, a thread about the BSOD with possible solutions.

Also: always install drivers with internetconnections closed and virusscanner disabled (and do not always use the newest drivers!)

I forgot: you can also check: www.via.com.tw and type the word "loop" (without quotes) in the search window in the top of the screen. This will result in 5 pages of posts about this problem.

Think I solved it!

I moved around the pci cards on my BP6 motherboard and now it seems to be working with xp-default drivers!

You can usually fix this error by going into the services panel and disabling the Nvidia service.

I would not recommend using the XP default drivers as they dont use all of the features of your card. I had the same problem as you with the nv4_disp errors, I thought it was due to nVidia not supporting the GeForce 256 DDR card as the new Detonator ones had features my card didnt.
Since then I have upgraded my card to a GeForce 2 Ti, I checked on the Windows Catalogue and hardware->Video cards and checked to see which GeForce cards were supported. Now I have had no problems at all. I am using the 6.13.10.2720, which came with the card. No problems

Athlon 1GHz
Abit KT7 RAID
256MB RAM
Gainward GeForce 2 Ti/450 TV
Creative Audigy Player
3COM 3C905B-TX
IBM DTLA-307030
MAXTOR 2 B020H1
Creative PC DVD 6x
Creative 8432e CDRW

Old graphics card was a creative card as well
