I upgraded my NVIDIA video drivers (GeForce2 Intergrated GPU) and since then
each time I use Direct3D for more than a min, my internet connection goes.

Well John..I am glad to see I'm not the only one with a Nvidia problem.. I
have upgraded my directX to directX 8.1b.. and I have gotten all the windows
updates I can .. if I try to use Direct3D 8 I crash, sometimes back into
windows where AW wants/suggests I start in Software Renderer, and sometimes
I crash totally with a blue screen that is dumping ram.. If I try to use
Direct3D 7.. some objects appear totally distorted.. with points that go way
out ..totally weird.. like a spiked hairdo. I am able to use open GL and
Software Renderer. but before my upgrade.. I was using Direct3D 8. After I
crash totally Nortons utilites has a field day with windows errors to
correct. So.. if you find an answer to this.. please pass it on to me :)

it was also suggested to me to reinstall IE.. I may try that.. but
formatting would be extremely painful :)

Windows XP requires SP1 in order to get 8.1b. However, SP1 has a tendency of
creating more bugs that it does fixes; your system may become unasable all
together. Read this somewhere that 1 out of every 10 calls to compaq (i
think it was compaq, could be wrong) were after installing SP1, and the tech
people tell the callers to just reformat.

if you are not using XP then go to

Ok, last night I semi-fixed it, it worked, for a while - now, it doesn't
again.

http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=winxp-2k_41.09 I was hoping it would
help.. but it didn't.

Does that reply and smile indicate what I think it does? Gee I thought the
purpose of this was to try and help each other by passing on information
we've come across... apparently I was mistaken here.
