I get the following error message whenever I try to start up a game:

DDHELP caused an invalid page fault in module NVDD32.DLL at 0167:b00b8b79

I need help in how to get rid of it. I think it was caused by installing
DirectX 7.0a that came with Earth 2150, but I'm not certain.

Please reply to nick....@virgin.net and not to the newsgroup.

Most likely a problem with the drivers for your video card. Try updating
them to a later version (I use http://www.reactorcritical.com for driver
updates myself). I've seen a lot of people having problems with the v6.18
Detonator drivers from nVidia (though they worked fine on every PC I've
installed them on so far), so I'd avoid those if you're already having
problems.

I have a nVidia Riva TNT2 model 64, four days old. I am assuming it comes
with the latest drivers.
