TNT Detonator / GPL problems

Trying to use the new Detonator drivers for GPL.
640x480 works but in 800x600 & 1024x768 the
program crashes with an illegal operation when
I push the final green button that puts you onto
the track.  Any advice?

I had this problem with the 0.48 drivers, but the Detonator
drivers fixed it for me.  Make sure the new drivers
installed successfully; I've heard that nVidia's install
program sometimes fails.

The workaround is to start the game at 640x480, then use
the options menu to increase resolution during the game.

Rob...

Are you complaining that when you pressed the green button the Detonator
caused GPL to blow up? What were you expecting?

Get this... I did what you suggested - and it worked!

Then I upgraded my motherboard bios, trying to
get my TNT / bh6 stable (which it never has been) and GPL
went back to not working, even with those 'disable' options
you mention checked.  Man I hate computers sometimes.
