SP2 and Nvidia drivers

[Wxguesser]

I installed SP-2 on one of my machines last night and ran into an OpenGL issue with an older Abit Siluro Nvidia MX 440 based video card. I had updated the drivers before installing SP-2 and they had checked out fine. After the install, the OpenGL problem surfaced. I fixed it by reverting to the older driver that was supplied with the card and seems to be working fine. I'm a bit leary of reloading the updated drivers.
Has anyone else had this problem?

You may want to look at the Windows Update page. At one time it had updated drivers for Nvidia

Actuall, those were the drivers that I updated the system with. Abit doesn't have updated drivers for that particular card on the site. It's working fine now so all's well. Just wanted to know if anyone else has run into the same prob.

I am currently using a Nvidia GeForce MX 440 64Mb Video card and had many issues with the latest drivers that Microsoft have released on their Update site. These are dated December of 2003. A visit of the Nvidia Site gives you drivers dated 27th July 2004, these I have used for 3 weeks now without any issues, either with SP1 or SP2.
