Windows XP & Nvida RIVA TNT2 M64 problems

[Anonimo]

Hello!
I need some help with this:
I have an Nvidia riva TNT2 M64 graphic card that works perfectly in Windows 98, but
recently i install windows XP, and then the problems start. I have a P III 667 mhz
processor, 387 MB in RAM, my motherboard is Tekram S3 PRO A serie and a SoundBlaster
Audigy mp3 sound card. When i try to open a video file (.mpg, .mpeg, .asf, .avi,
etc...) my pc gets freezed and after a little bit (15-20 seconds) appears a blue
screen very fast (i never can read what it says) and the pc gets restarted,and when
it reestarts appears an error report that says ''your pc has recovered for a serious
problem...'' and when i click ''see error report'', it says that the problem was
caused by the video card and the drivers. I try actualizing the drivers for this
video card, but it seems that it didn't solved the problem. This error only appears
when i try to open a video file. Does anybody know how can i fix this problem? Thanks
a lot!!!

Try to open video file in other player. If you're using Windows Media Player, try changing "video acceleration" value in program options.

my mate had a similar problem to you with his TNT2 M64 card in both 98 and XP. under the windows media player, real player & quick time he would get the same thing as you, but under DivX he had no problems. You should get the new drivers and possibly a flash for the video bios as this may help. check out nvidia site @ www.nvidia.com hope this info is of use to you.
