Geforce 2 will only run in Win 98

Comment:
I have been through 3 operating systems this week (WIN 98Se, ME, 2000 Pro and XP Pro)but none will run properly with my Sparkle Geforce 2 MX 200. In ME the PC will not boot into windows but I get a blinking green and red cursor in top left of screen. In 2000 and XP everything runs fine until you open any graphic based program (games, CAD, Photoshop etc.) then the systen freezes and you get the bluescreen telling you that the problem is NVdisp4 or similar. In XP the system reopens and reports a problem with the Geforce. I have all latest drivers and everything runs great in WIN 98 but I desperately want to run 2000 or XP. Can anyone help. System: MSI KT133a Mobo PRo Turbo 2 Via chipset Sparkle Geforce 2 MX Athlon 1 ghz 512 MB PC133 USB tablet, optical mouse and keyboard PCI 128 sound 40 Gb Western Digital Hard Drive. Please, please help!

I believe I would call the company where I bought it and ask for an exchange. I have a geforce also and never had any problem with it in win98 or win2000. Just sounds like you may have a bad card.
