What are the symptoms? What card did you have before? Describe your system in detail as well.

I also have a GeForce MX-200 and VIA chipset and have no problems at all with OPF!

What driver version do you use for your GeForce and have you got the latest 4in1 drivers for the VIA chipset?

My mobo is a AOpen AX34PRO II and my vidcard is a Creative GeForce 2MX.

Well before the nVidia Geforce2 MX-200 64mb i had the SiS 6326 8mb card --- and my motherboard is the VIA Apollo Pro....i am using latest drivers for both and i have 64mb of ram

... the problem is that windows keeps hanging --- it goes into a blank screen with a cursor on top blinking.. and thats it --- some times it boots into windows and then it hangs even when i start games like Virtual Pool3

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease Help!! -- i am at my wits end!!

ok...so i'm assuming that you have

4-in-1 driver for VIA chipsets,

latest NVidia driver(28.32, i think)

you mentioned that you have 64mb RAM. are you talking about your system memory or video card memory? if that's sytem memory, you really need to upgrade.

i have 750mhx AMD duron,

256RAM

GF2 Mx-200

a VIA motherboard.

and it runs fair enough

For starters, add memory to your system, 64MB isn't enough to do anything useful; it might be OK for booting the OS and running a web browser, but that's where the fun ends and the pain sets in.

Try going into the Control Panel -> System -> Performance, and see what percentage of memory and resources are free. I'm sure you'll find that most of them are already exhausted before you even load OFP.
