Short Freezes and Lags, Nividia 56.72 detonator driver problem?

[legacy-Derbof]

Ive been having constant short freezes and lags during playing UT2004 only since ive reinstalled my XP pro operating system and upgraded all the drivers. I have a Nividia FX5200 card and prior to the reinstall everything was fine with the Nividia 52.16 detonator driver but then I upgraded to to the 56.72 driver from the Nividia Website it all went tits up. What I done to solve this was to install the older 52.16 detonator driver and all is well again :) .This has totally solved my problem and I hope this information may be of help and its the most annoying thing that can happen in any game.

lo m8 i have exactly the same problem. Ive recently done a reformat and installed windows xp pro again the day after i bought Unreal tournament 2004 and now UT2k4 runs very slow and laggy when i go online it was working fine before i reformatted and reinstalled windows. Whats causing this problem i have installed all the latest drivers including directX 9.0b provided with the game / WHQL Nividia 61.76 drivers. im using Amd athlon xp 2800+ , GEFORCE FX 5200 128mb , 512 DDR
