Hi,

Apparently, the 53.03 drivers that run on XP does not run any OpenGL games due to the fact that it is OpenGL 1.4 as opposed to OpenGL 1.3 from prior versions. Running this driver with any game causes it to crash. Like CoD, MOHAA, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, etc. I reverted it back to 45.xxx instead. Anyone else experiencing this???


Thanks

Ram

I ran 53.03 for ages with a variety of OpenGL games just fine (including the ones you mentioned). Though I recently went back to 45.xx to get proper stereo support.

Opengl 1.4 internaly accepts all OpenGl 1.3
commands. There is no reason for non-compatibility.

That is what I thought as well. But, I am not alone. Just search around and see. Look for "53 nVidia crashing" under google / usenet. There are tons of people experiencing the same problem I am. Most of the solutions people are giving is to run 45.x instead. Hence, the reason why I reverted back. Works like a champ now...

Cheers,

Ram
