you may not like to hear this but that card is worthless and NOT designed for games.

believe what you want run whatever games you want but its not a gaming card.

your also playing a mod, read that again, a MOD, based off of and usinf certain parts of the real game but none the less its a mod. dont expect to get full stability with a mod.

i have had one of those cards, and they are total crap and regardless of what nvidia would make you believe, they are a desktop work station office machine card only.

i can also guarenetee you that you dont play any games over 800x600, or if you do you have the graphics detail levels turn damn near off.

go buy a new card, even a gforce 3 will be better than that card. ebay will have them dirt cheap.

if the game is constantly crashing your PC then the game is causing some sort of Direct X or video driver conflist and causing it to crash.
you need ot go into Event Viewer in Administrative Tools and look thru there until you find the crash log and read why it crashed, it wont give much info but it will tell you what crashed, if its showing the game exe file crashing then there is an issue generally with the game,, if it shows direct x or nvidia driver dll error then there is an issue with the driver, but the problem is really more with the game since its the one talking to the drivers.

that card is old and none of the new drivers will even do that card any good, its not a direct x 9 video card so go back to some of the older drivers, and i do mean older drivers.
you need to go back atleast a year ago to find drivers that were good for that card.
