Motherboard: ASUS K7M
Video Card: Geforce4 ti4200

I've flashed the BIOS, I've updated the chipset drivers, and I'm using the
latest 65.73 WHQL certified drivers (thanks to guru3d.com). I've also tried
these drivers: 61.77, 61.76, 56.72, 53.04, 53.03, 52.16, 45.23, 40.72 as well
as the Omega drivers for the 5x.xx series. But the only thing is that I don't
remember the version of the drivers that were installed when I reinstalled
WinXP.
