I have had always had a 3dfx card and have recently moved to a geforce 256 I am not running the sort of spec that you are ( k62 550 on s/s 7 motherboard) but had the same "freezing" problems for weeks. I had tried all the latest reference drivers and detonators with no avail. But after a few weeks have come up with a perfect solution. I have gone back to the pre detonator drivers. I am using refernce drivers 3.90 and direct x7.0a Believe it or not my frame rates are twice what I was getting with 6x drivers and NO BLOODY FREEZING !!!! It may sound really stupid but I firmly believe that in this case newest isn't the best. Go on give it a go.... All nvidia reference drivers back to 0.1 are available from www.reactorcritical.com Hope you get it sorted Andy Meredith..
