    Instalation of xp went fine - all hardware found no probs.

    However, when I tried to download the most recent nvidia drivers it keeps crashing and putting up an sytem protection fault error message.

    Any ideas?

    It will down load anything that is not a programmable file. I can download a picture but not a driver. I have since read something that it is nanny microsoft trying to protect us ignorant people from viruses.:rofl: :rofl:

    If you check your netywork connection properties by right clicking 'My Network Places' you may see a small gold padlock above the icon. If so open the properties of the connection and disable the firewall on the advanced tab. If that does'nt work try using a download amanger to get the file.

    What version of XP have you got ?
    if you have XP Home Edition some poeple have been complaining that it has not been D/l some file types .

    P.S if you running Home edition GET Professional ASAP because even if you manage to d/l the drivers you won't be able to install them unless they are passed by micr$oft driver signing !

    post the link I will see if I can d/l them !
