Adding my situation to the list...

System: Dell Precision Mobile WorkStation M4400
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3
Adapter: NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M
Driver Version: 6.14.11.7950

Symptoms: I was seeing some of the black-boxing of fog of war, and some poor performance. Increased the Frame Rate to 40 and performance recovered. At one point, though (right after the otyugh in the first level of Irenicus' dungeon), I kept getting a cpp error (no, I don't remember which one). At that point, I suspected that my installation was corrupt, so I uninstalled it and then deleted the folder under Program Files. I reinstalled SoA and ToB and reapplied the ToB patch.

Now, once past the initial menu (once it kicks into bgmain.exe, I *think*) the screen goes black. Only Suspend or Power Off recovers.

I've tried several variations of 3D settings in BGConfig, but haven't hit on something that works yet. Of course, given that I have to Suspend or Power Off the system after every attempt, I've not been scientifically trying every possible combination. I don't exactly have the time.

Anyway, now that I've found this forum, I'm going to be making a few more tries (including turning off some settings in the NVIDIA control panel for baldur.exe and bgmain.exe). In the meantime, though, does anyone else have any experience with this particular NVIDIA card?
