Ah - a confession - another BF2 player!!! We're gonna have to start a
BF2anon group!
He he - I did not install the one that came with BF2, but got one from
NVIDIA site - but I must admit I do suspect the driver somewhat!!

Don't know if its relevant or not but Battlefield 2 came with a
forceware driver for Nvidia cards that was required to get all the
effects of the game. I can't recall the exact number but it was 8x.xx
or something. Installing this driver however would cause XSI to crash
when drawing or refreshing a render region. It would crash 1 out of
every 3 attempts.....very annoying.
