have you uninstalled and then reinstalled the nvidia drivers? You could have a corrupted driver.

Wasn't there a mention of some sort of video driver issues with SP2? It might take a little bit to do, but I would probably uninstall SP2 and see if that makes any difference.

Other than that, the usual update-the-video-driver and update-direct-x routine stuff.

oh jings I never noticed you had some beta of sp2 on! Get that off!
