TRII and nvidia drivers

[Guest]

I was replaying TRII on my XP home (SP2) system. I installed another
game that needed new video drivers so I updated to 66.93. Now TRII will
not load. My system locks just before the main screen used to load a
saved game. I then dropped back to 56.72 and TRII now works HOWEVER I
still crashed after about 15 minutes of play requiring a re-boot. Anyone
else having trouble with TR games and newer nvidia drivers??? (maybe it
is something else?

I'm using XP Pro SP2, have an eVGA6800, using nVidias 67.02 driver set.
Just tried TR2 and it runs ok. The FMV's are having problems, but the
game itself is fine. For the FMV's you might want to update your Binks
'Rad/Smaker' tools. That's what Core used for their FMV playing. Get
