Yes I recently updated my old NVidia Riva TNT2 Model 64 Pro (32mb)Video card to a not as old NVidia Geforce3 TI200 (64mb) video card. Ever since I've been looking for a driver that is stable. This Geforce3 card locks up on The Sims 2 that the TNT2 would run,slow, but would run. All I can figure is it's the driver. So my question is can someone recommend a good stable driver for this card. My system is nothing special:

WinXP Pro
850 AMD Duron
384 mb memory

Thanks in advance for any help on finding a good driver.

To be honest I updated cause I figured it might of have needed it. I know I'm a jump first kind of guy. I'll try rolling it back to the original driver.

Nvidia still has an archive of older TNT2 video drivers, as well as those for all the Geforce series.

Yea I've been through the Nvidia site for their drivers. I downloaded and installed the newest drivers for the Geforce 3 ti200 card. Those drivers caused games to freeze that worked fine before I installed the new (Geforce3 ti200) card. Like I said my OLD card a TNT2 ran Sims 2 , Command & Conquer Generals ,ect. fine no lockup but they were very slow. I installed the new Geforce3 card all the games run great speed wise, they just crash after a few minutes. I'm looking for a stable driver, detonator or otherwise. Thanks again for any help.

For the G3, I would suggest trying the 56.72 series. XP has version 56.73...just no control panel. I found those drivers to be very stable for the MX card I had. When installing 56.72, XP will tell you the drivers are older than the ones being used, just go ahead and ok it.

The newer drivers have been tweaked to run on the more advanced GPUs, which I believe causes the issues you're seeing with the older card.
