i also posted this problem to the micron group. i got a reply
by email. that poster also has the same card, but the NT 4.0 
drivers work fine for him. he suggested asking Micron for a
video bios upgrade, if it's not the latest version. 

since he has the same card and it works with NT4.0, this 
sounds promising. haven't had a chance to try it out 
yet, though.
