Overlay Mode PROBLEMS Geforce4 MX 420
I always use Overlay mode in Winamp. Untill now it worked fine both in version 2.77 and the new version 5.04.
Allthough sometimes Winamp 5.04 crashes (also without 0verlay mode enabled. 5.04 is not so stable and needs to be worked on more I think).

But the problem I'm having is this:
I used a Diamond Viper 2 videocard with 32mb on it. Everything was o.k

I wanted a better videocard and I became a Geforce4 MX-420 with 64mb.

Now whenever I play Winamp with Overlay Mode enabled Winamp crashes after a few minutes both in version 2.77 and also version 5.04. After that I'm not able to get Winamp working again. I have to restart my PC and perform Scandisk.

Who can advise me how to handle this or solve the problem. Maybe there is someone who also uses Geforce4 and knows this problem and what to do about it.

Thanks.

I have the same vidcard (OEM) and it works fine with 5.04. Try downloading the latest drivers from Nvidia.
