66.81 Borks MoHAA

After installing the 66.81 drivers, Medal of Honor Allied Assault will no
longer start.

Dr. Watson intercepts the crash, and exits gracefully. Other Quake 3 engine
games work however. Safe Mode does not work. Same crash.

Dump inspection reveals faults in certain instructions, and no untoward
processes or other obvious glitches.

Back up your game saves and reinstall MOHAA. I personally like 61.76 for
Quake 3 games. I consistently get around 100fps with my POS FX5200. Then
again I also have a half a gig of system RAM too. ;-)

I reinstalled after saving, same problem (first thing I tried).

I fixed the problem by using the 66.72 drivers, I shall submit this to
nvidia as a bona fide bug, I suspect it is that vresion of the nvhelper
service.
