XP bugs/oddities/etc.

typedef enum

1. This may be an nVidia problem, or an XP one. . . But I can use PowerDVD (I've used 2. 55 and 3. 0), watch a DVD. . . But the moment I shut it down, I don't get a BSOD. . . It just restarts the system.

I know Ive seen something about this before, but how does the V3 work under XP? I know that it runs right off the bat w/o drivers until you do gaming, then you need drivers. Will the 1. 04 drivers work?.
