i've just got a brand new nf7-s rev 2.0 and an xp2600 to go in it. my problem is this:
detonator drivers for my creative GF4 ti4600 128mb wont install properly! during the driver install the progress bar instantly goes to 98% but the xp device found tray logo never pops comes up. then it says installation complete and i reboot as per usual. then as xp boots i get instant blue screen when the desktop should appear with the error message just being "STOP". after this i have to run with "last best settings that worked" to boot xp. now bizzarely i have win98 duel booting and that can install dets properly on that and everything works fine. ive reinstalled xp 6 times now with the same results each time even tho ive tried varying methods of install - installing dets before and after xp sp1, installing dets before and after nforce 2 drivers (latest and ones off the cd), extracting the drivers and manually updating thru device manager. ive tried dets from 30.82 upto the latest. i've tried all combinations of bios settings like agp aperture,fast writes and apic on/off etc. i've even just flashed my ti4600's bios to the latest reference nvidia bios! still no joy! my gfx card is fine in 2 other computers ive tried it in inc an abit kx7 kt133 and an old intel based bm7. ive absolutely no idea what to do now can someone please help? my system details:
