Any driver above 44.xx didn't work properly on my MSI GF3 Ti-200, but I
finally figured it out. The problem turned out to be the video card's BIOS
(version 3.20.00.20).
I went to http://whitebunny.demon.nl/hardware/chipset_nvidia.html
and downloaded v3.20.00.19 (3201900.rom) and NVFlash. I booted into
pure DOS and flashed the BIOS:

nvflash --overridesub -f3201900.rom

Now the new drivers work perfectly.
Note: before trying this, it might be a good idea to use NVFlash to make a
backup of your current BIOS.
eg) nvflash --save backup


Thanks, this solved the same problem with my GF3 too.
I have Nvidia's GF3 Ti200 and the original bios was
3.20.00.18F. Got the same problem with the latest
drivers locking up XP, but after flashing that 3.20.00.19
53.03's are working like a dream!
