" To make the point, my next video card purchase will be from ATI."
Yep great move! I'm still waiting for a good driver........ on my ATI.
I own both so have plenty of experience of naff drivers.
Managed to get 52.16 to work perfect after a little twiddling.
goto
Properties
Settings
Advanced
Troubleshooting
Now you will see
Hardware Acceleration
Set it to NONE
Now remove to TICK from
Enable Write Combining
Now reboot
Once rebooted set Hardware Acceleration to FULL & Enable Write Combining
back on.
This trick has worked on both my Geforce 4400TI & Geforce 4 MX.
Good luck
