I am not playing any of these but I am running v12.41 on a GF3. My only predictable crash is with Unreal Tournament in DirectX mode. All my other DirectX games and OpenGL apps and games work fine.
My first question would be what version of DirectX are you running? And do these games run DirectX or OpenGL?
If you are running DirectX, I would try and get your hands on some of the betas of 8.1, since I am sure that the .1 fixes are geared toward tweaks in the latest DX pure video card, the GF3.
If they run OpenGL, make sure you have installed SP2 for Windows 2000. I believe core OpenGL support was updated in SP2.
Also, download NVMax while you still can. It really helps with the GF3 IMHO.
And finally, are you sure it is a problem with your GF3, and not overclocking, bad SBLive drivers, etc?
Hope this helps,

oh, a few more obvious questions...
what rev drivers were you using before (7 series, 11 or 12?)?
what type of motherboard/cpu are you using (it may need patches/updates)?
and note there are v12.60 leaked betas available as well.

OP
I m using Windows 2000 with SP2 and direct X 8
I m using nvidia 12.41 drivers
I ve an Asus CUSL 2c with a pentium III 866 overclocked on 901 MHz.
I going to try to find the bet

Where can I download Nvmax? The download link on nvmax.com is broken. Also, what is the latest version? (non-beta).
