so after trying different versions on drivers and all i dumped xp completely and shifted 100% to vista and the same 178.24(Had to download the vista version) worked and that too with no problems. Another reason to dump windows XP
i get an error when ever i play cod4. BSOD comes and an error code STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DRVICE_DRIVER(q292078) i found out that its related to gpu drivers.
i never had this problem with the 162.18 drivers but now i m getting BSOD with 178.24.
