Hey guys,
It's been about four months I have win xp on my pc in dual boot with win 98.
I had to install win 98 again due to the following problem which I have tried solving on different occassions but which never worked.
Each time I download the detonator drivers for win xp from the nvidia site, I go for installation of them and I get an error at 30% of the installation saying that if I install these drivers I might encounter problems in the proper working of my computer, I choose to install them anyways because I would like opengl support mainly to be able to play Return To Caslte Wolfenstein and lately Medal Of Honour Allied Assault whitout getting the opengl not found error.
Once they are installed, at first there seems no problem at all, but after a while of running my pc (we are talking undefined time laps here, sometimes a few minutes some times a few hours) my pc just freezes up and reboots, when my system is rebooted I get the send error report dialog from windows xp displaying that my nvidia geforce 2 mx 200/400 display drivers caused a fatal error.
I have tried the latest drivers that were leaked from nvidia and I still get the same problem every time over again. I would like to be able to solve this problem due to the fact that my home network connection is set up in win xp and that each time I wish to play one of the games, I have to reboot under win98 when everybody in my house is sleeping since I am too lazy to set up the network again under win98.
I heard on irc that I am not the only one to encounter this problem and that the best thing to do is to wait for the next drivers to come out.
Right now I tried to do a step by step installation like mentionned on http://www.xp-erience.org/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=157 but the problem here is that I can't locate a .INF file for the installation since the driver setup I get is a self extracting setup file.
I sincerly hope one of you guys will be able to help me out with this issue I am experiencing.
My system specs are the following
Amd xp 1.5 ghz processor (I will be asking help about a problem experienced with my processor too in the appropriate section too because since I instaleld my winxp, when I start up my pc, my processor is referred to as being a 1ghz processor from AMD while I am 100% positive it is a 1.5ghz and when I had win98 running on it it mentionned my processor as being 1.5ghz)
256 sd ram
60 gb hd
nvidia geforce 200 mx
on board sound card
Friendly regards
