Crappy Nvidia driver!!!

Did anyone else download the newest (release on 12/3/01) geforce2 driver from nvidia (the Detonator) and experience problems with games (specifically Aliens vs. Predator 2)? I did...I had to revert to the previous one. Just curious...

Well sometime one or two weeks ago, I saw nVidia's site had a newer version of Detonator, can't remember what version it was...a few days later, they took that version off the site again.

My card is an Apollo Geforce2 GTS 64MB DDR. I'm running a 1.2Ghz Athlon w/ 512MB PC-133. AvP2 worked fine for about a month, but then I downloaded the lastet Nvidia driver (version 23.11 released on 12/3/01) and then the intro videos got choppy (Fox and Sierra) and also any mouse movement during the game got choppy. As soon as I reverted back the the previous driver (version 21.83 released on 10/25/01) the problem went away. Counter-strike worked fine with both, however; only AvP2 was affected.
