Unreal Tournament crashes on XP with D3D

My system specs amply exceed any possible requirement XP or Unreal Tournament might have; I have XP-specific drivers for my KyroII 4500 card, and the DirectX 8.1 that comes with XP. With software rendering, UT works fine, but when D3D is on (works great undfer 98SE) withing a second or two of startig the intro animation, some Direct3D error or other always occurs. Any ideas please (given that I think this IS the newest DirectX, and that some people have UT working with D3D on UT)?

Microsoft needs to get their act together with windows xp. My need for speed 2 did the same thing and it was because windows xp uses drivers for graphics that are slow and lock up. So i would try to download different graphic card drivers at driverguide.com and if that don't work email me and i will give you a different route.
