Driver problem, I think.

[stryder@whyalla.net.au]

I have a Winfast A340 video card. Recently I've installed Thief II
but when I try to start the game the screen goes black. According to
the instruction manual of Thief II I need to upgrade my video driver.
Problem is the most recent driver from Leadtek is the driver I already
have!
Is my video card obsolete? or is it that XP really doesn't like my
video card. It's not uncommon for my system to freeze up unexpectedly
without reason.

Thank you for your time.

this case is nVidia...
