ECS-K7S5A motherboard(with onboard sound) with Athlon 1800+ cpu
nVidia G-Force 3 using the 23.11 drivers

N4 and F1-2001 both seem to crash pretty quickly while racing. The engine
sound in N4 is very high pitched, but all the other sounds work fine. Grand
Prix 3, the sound also seems to stutter. I'm sorry if this has been
discussed previously, but has anyone else had the same problems?

Thanks in advance
Matt

Is it exclusively under WinXP?  If so, then all you can do is try different
game patches and device drivers and try to narrow it down.  e.g. give the
28.32 nVidia drivers a go.  There aren't any known issues with the games you
mentioned, so you might just have to experiment.  Oh, except for GP3 2000
which runs poorly under WinXP but the original is OK (except for replays!!)

No, when I try running in compatibility mode, it still crashes. I had no
problems running either on P3-800 system, it was just after I upgraded(and
yes, I did a fresh reinstall on both games). I tried the 28.32 drivers but
still the same problem..should I try the 22.50?

Thanks

I also suggest to set the motherboard BIOS back to Setup Defaults, ensdure
that the video drivers are defaults and take it from there. Put the latest
VIA 4 in 1 on
and set the game video setimngs to defaults (the technical ones like
filtering, etc, the other ones as you wish)

You may find that 98SE is fine and XP isn;t with thje same settings
