But it was OK in win2k right? Try different drivers the 8.xx is supposed to be the best for TNT cards.
 
Is it only D3D what about OPenGL?
 
I am not a computer wiz try contacting nvidia info@nvidia.com or the makers of your card.

I am using official XP drivers and my PC freezes when I exit openGL games. WHQl drivers from creative gave diablo 2 gamers BSODs and crackling in SMP systems.
 
Just stick with what works ok ;( duh
