Clueless in Omaha Now that is too weird, I checked and my NV 6629 driver was not there anymore. I would get the Nvidia splash screen so thought that the driver was there from when I originally did the install. No, it was gone. Now with a fresh install of the 6629 driver ut2003 (not the demo the full version) runs like it should. So once again I would have to say that the driver is not totally broken.
