I've been running 76.50 since I did my fresh install and haven't had any game or 3DMark crashes yet.

BTW, I installed the 76.50 as the first and only graphics drivers on my re-install of WinXPP. I haven't gone through multiple installs and re-installs of various nVidia drivers versions (as some people have), so there aren't any leftover nVidia files or registry entries from different versions on my system.

Before I installed the XG 76.50 from www.tweaksrus.com I followed the proceedure dictated by Driver Cleaner Pro.
No problems whatsoever

I don't believe I completely uninstalled the nVidia drivers before I installed the 76.50 drivers--may have been my problem. Ill have to uninstall and run the driverClean utility and reinstall again.

Ya that DriverCleaner 3.0 or whatever may be a good solution. I've used it in the past myself on my desktop.

I didn't mean to hijack your thread. I'll let you know if the drivers work following a complete delete and reinstall. I have both photoshop 7 and Image ready--I'll test them out..

I installed the 76.50 on top of the Dell install of XP Pro. I didn't uninstall the old drivers first, just wrote over them. I did follow the instructions in the custom nfo file, though, so I did the install through the control panel. Maybe it made a difference. I've had no problems at all, running 3dMark, FarCry, HL2, CSS, and Doom 3

I had the same problems with my system crashing on different events. I installed the 72. xxx driver and so far so good. I am formatting tonight however and will try the 76 again. I'll let you know if after a few days I experience any crashing.

I installed 76.50 to find CSS and HL2 crashing out about every 20 to 60 minutes. Today I removed the driver from safe mode, restarted, ran driver cleaner pro from safe mode, and then restarted again, installed the 76.50 driver again. Then I followed with another restart and everything works fine now. No more crashing (yet).

Strange, I'll have to give the Driver Cleaner method a try. My CSS also crashes on me every 30-60 minutes, even though its a fresh install of XP and that I've only ever installed the 76.50 drivers. I'll try the WHQL drivers after cleaning out the XG version with Driver Cleaner...

I just got done with a tortuos session of installing drivers. THe drive cleaner wasn't much help as soon as you clean the files the NVP4dsp.dll pops right back into place. Even going into the system folders and manually deleting it does the same thing. I followed the read-me instructions to a T and it just seemed to make it worse. FInally after about the 7th attempt of doing a clean install I think I got one. So far so good
