I have a Creative 3D Blaster TNT2 Ultra in a dual celeron system running
Windows NT 4.0 (Service pack 5).  Everything works fine with the Creative
drivers, but if I install the Nvidia Detonator 2.08 drivers, any game I try
will lockup as soon as it starts up (or very soon thereafter).  Quake 2 & 3,
Unreal, Half-Life... none work.

I'd gladly use the Creative Labs Windows NT drivers if they weren't so out
of date (ie. if Creative ever updated them... hint hint).  I have compared
the performance of my setup running the Creative drivers to a friend with
and equivalent setup (only difference is that he has a Xentor TNT2 Ultra)
running the Detonator drivers, and let's just say that mine doesn't even
come close.  In Quake 2 and 3, he averages about 15fps higher in all
resolutions, with the lower resolutions (ie. 640x480) he's getting about
40fps higher than mine (my performance with the Creative drivers seems to be
capped -- I get no performance gain dropping from 800x600 to 640x480 at
all).

Here's my setup:

ABit BP6 Motherboard
Dual Celeron 333 overclocked to 440 (5x88MHz)
[Yes, I did drop the CPU speed back to the default to see if that was the
problem -- no, it wasn't.]
Creative Labs 3D Blaster TNT2 Ultra
3Com 3C905 PCI network card
Sound Blaster Live Value
IBM UDMA 66 Hard Drive
Windows NT Workstation 4.0 (service pack 5)

Thanks for any help.
