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..
