I have updated all my Drivers after a crash, now
Battlefield 1942, Unreal Tournament 2003 & Freelancer
don't work.

I had them in running before the crash, running XP, but
now I get into the games and then they either crash back
to the desktop or reboot my system.

I have tried everything like adjusting res on vid card &
lowering graphics.

I'm running AMD 1.2, Nvidia GFmmx4 64, 448 ram.

Can someone please help! as I don't want to take it to the
repair man and pay a furtune for something that may be
simple to fix

Please give us more info. How did the earlier crash happen? Did you get
any messages during the earlier crash? Did your games work fine before the
crash? Also, what motherboard, soundcard, and bios are you using? Have you
made any recent system changes or addtions? Did you reinstall the new
drivers on top of the old, or did you delete the old drivers first? Some
drivers don't install well over some older versions of themselves. Give
everyone here as much detail as you can and you'll improve the odds of
finding a fix.

Try the 30.82 Nvidia drivers.

Try entering the games using the "fail safe or default settings" icon for
the game in question (Unreal Tournament - Safe Mode) Then adjust the games
properties again!
