I have EXACTLY the same problem with EVERY game using anything higher than the 53.45 detonators. Try re-installing DX9 and try Re-Installing the detonator drivers.

Odd. I still want to know why I lose all 3D accelleration with the last few sets of Detonators though.

do you both have 100% T&L compatable video cards? If not, it won't run at all...

I can get Halo to run fine, my point was that the later sets of Nvidia drivers break my GF4 Ti4200's 3d acceleration.
