Default "Infinite Loop" Video Hangs - Geforce2 MX200 + MSI 645 Ultra

With nvidia,youre best bet is to remove it in add/remove,
then go to device mgr.and R.click it in display adapters,
select,uninstall,reboot computer.On desktop,open windows
update,let it install nvidia drivers for you.
-----Original Message-----
When I run games using Direct3D or DirectDraw - i.e. Age

of Empires 2,
or Simcity 4 - they always hang for 1 minute, then this

error comes
up: "Microsoft Windows detected and recovered from a

device failure.
Please save your work and reboot to restore full

functionality." When
I click OK, I get dumped to a 640*480, 16 color desktop.

After restarting, Windows warns me that "the system has

recovered from
a serious error" and that "NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 100/200

appears to be
responsible for the instability." I looked in the Event

log and found
an entry, from source: "nv4" with description: "The

driver nv4_disp
for the display device \Device\Video0 got stuck in an

infinite loop.
This usually indicates a problem with the device itself

or with the
device driver programming the hardware incorrectly.

Please check with
your hardware device vendor for any driver updates."

I have Pentium 4 1.8 GHz, and 512 MB memory, on MSI 645

Ultra
motherboard with SIS 645 chipset. I have Windows XP

Home. Please
advise!
