I have a Hercules GTS Pro (64 meg DDR)
the XP default drivers worked fine but
I wanted to use my TV out function and
upgraded to the new Herc drivers and my
games started to freeze. Best off with the
default drivers that come wih XP untill
vendors either come out with new drivers
or pull what alot of companies are doing
sell a new version (same product) with XP
support. I have notcied this with a few
companies. Once I purchase the new version
I noticed it was the same thing just with
XP support. A way to keep software and
hardware's revenue comming in. Understandable
to a point. But I feel they should support it
for a least 6 mos to a year. But when we
bought these products XP was not out so they
are not obligated to keep making new drivers
for new OSes. If they did most poeple would
not buy the new products unless they came
with a blow job. :)

I had an older BCM 1543(piece of crap btw) motherboard and XP wouldn't recognize anything AGP. It would load the GeForce 256 driver, but would fail with error code 10. Downloaded NVidia drivers, didn't work. Worked fine with PCI video. ALI (chipset) or BCM had no XP AGP drivers. Just win95,98,ME, none worked of course. I had to buy a new Asus motherboard for XP to see my AGP Geforce 256. Long story short, my problem was the motherboard.

I have a Leadtek GForce 2GTS. The generic XP driver worked fine but I went to Nvidia'a home page and downloaded their latest driver and my system works beautifully.
