Set Widows back to another "restore point" and see if that helps.

Clean out your old video driver and reinstall a new one.
You have an older card so don't load the latest drivers they won't help at all.

Reboot and defrag your h/d it probably needs it.

You didn't say how much memory you have.

Yeah, I have the same problem. Does anyone know if there is some way of altering the registry to tell CFS its a different card?

Clean out your old video drivers.
Download new ones, don't install them yet.
Delete the card in the device manager.
Reboot the computer, Windows will recognize the card.
Install the new drivers.
