2 weeks back I Installed the CMR 3.0 in my system in my Windows XP SP1 system. At that time I didn't Installed SP2 for Windows XP. The game was running
properly and smoothly.

After a Windows Crash. I freshly installed the Windows XP with SP2. Now after installing the CMR3 the games has sudden jerks while playing. It is something like, the car is moving but the screen freezes momentarily.

Somebody please help me. My game is not smooth. Is this a problem with Windows XP SP2 and the CMR3.

The Add/Remove Dialog says the version as CMR3 v1.00.000

Thanks in advance.

The same antivirus was running and the firewall was zonealarm.
Now the same antivirus & the SP2's Firewall.

Did you update your graphics card Driver after Re-install?

The game ran perfectly with the original drivers which came with the card.

But the current driver is the same as the original one. <- Doesn't help.

The driver version 61.77_win2kxp_english also doesn't help.
Mine is a Dial-up and I can't download the 14 MB drivers.

Any other solution or any custom driver for the Geforce PCX 5750.

What is the latest version of the nvidia driver ??
