It just occurred to me that if he is loading NVdriver he's probably doomed
from the get-go. The instructions, I believe, tell you to un-install the old
driver first then to install the new one. No small wonder things are acting

no problems getting the card to work, other that AGP issues related to my
KT133 chipset.
