Hi M,
Newer drivers will give you that Windows Logo error message,
simply because they haven't gone through the full authentication
process yet, however 99.99% of the times, the driver is fine.
Go ahead and update your Nvidia driver. If you don't like the
results, we can always use the Rollback driver feature of XP.

| Hi Jerry,
| Thanks for replying. I downloaded the viewer and it seems I have only some

| program found was that "your hardware DOES NOT support Open GL acceleration".
| I don't really understand what this means... Other than it won't let me play
| the game....
| I tried to download a controller from NVIDIA for my video card, thinking
| that this might help, but when I try to install it, I get a message that
| Windows can't find the "Windows XP logo", and it prompts me to stop the
| installation. Since it says very bad things can happen, I never installed
| it.....
| Any suggestions will be welcome..... Thanks again. : )
