Has anyone else had a problem running games with this card under Win XP Home? (Op Flashpoint, MOH)

To be honest, I'm not sure if the card is the problem, or if it's down to XP.

My system is based around an AMD 1800 processor. The only "non-typical" component is a firewire card.

Any thoughts or experiences appreciated.

(even if it's just "junk XP and go for Win 2000" :P

Moved to Win XP Pro about a month ago from Win2k. Has been fine so far, the only patch I have applied is for Half Life. This patch fixes overflow problems within the HL game.

Cool

Thanks for the advice guys - I'll be wrestling with it again this evening!

Is XP Pro any more stable than XP Home?
