I have a Creative TNT2 Ultra card.  Tried the 12.41 Nvidia drivers (non-WHQL
version) from their website and experienced system freezes occasionally when
I would left click mouse (Logitech with Logitech driver 9.10).  Then I tried
Creative version 12.90 and it ran for about 12 hours overnight, then in the
morning I forgot I had these new drivers and started burning CD.  Left
clicked on an icon and wham! Freeze.  New coaster. Now I am back to Nvidia
version 6.50, which I had before.

My system is Intel BX with P3, Win2Ksp2, 384 megs.
