Go to Nvidia.com and download the XP drivers that may cure it for you.

Don't bother downloading the drivers.... I've already gone that route. If you check
the Hardware Compatibility list for Xp you will notice that the TNT2 64 card (Along
with quite a few other Nvidia cards) is not listed as "XP Certified" . Heck.... its
not even listed as XP compatible......even though Nvidia has come out with an XP
driver for it. I was experiencing some really wierd problems with mine. I found
that the GeForce series of cards ARE XP certified. I replaced my TNT with a GeForce
MX and no more problems. I hate to say it but Bill Gates really has us all by the
gonads this time. I run a small computer repair shop and I'm running into more and
more problems of this type with XP.
It seems that if it isn't on the HCL (Hardware compatibility list) it doesn't work.
In scanning the HCl I feel sorry for a lot of ATI owners. More than half the cards
produced in the last three years are neither XP certified or XP compatible....
THIS REALLY SUCKS!

I had the same problem, the worst thing that I experienced was that I reinstalled
the Windows 98SE and the card worked fine, then I found some info in the nVidia web
page, I read that I have set the "Assign IRQ to VGA" in the BIOS options to "Enabled",
there is more info the nVidia FAQ, I reinstalled Windows XP pro and then the card
worked fine. P.S. I installed the latest nVidia driver
