That might actually be the problem. Nvidia's recent drivers have been really shitty - many people have had their computer freeze and/or BSOD like that in GW:EN with Nvidia cards (including my desktop comp with a GF 7900GS).

Even the driver control panel has been crashing randomly on my computer since driver version v157.xx, and it occasionally doesn't save the changes I've made.

Try some older driver versions, maybe the version 90something drivers. It's not likely the recent versions have added anything for your old card in any case.

I use the nVidia 84 drivers. Anything higher seemed buggy with many games.

Nvidia has a driver archive at http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_archive.html. Try something around release 80-90 first, I doubt they've added anything new for your card since them.
