Default Post Omega 1.1.82 causing Nascar 2002 to lock up, need help please

Hello,

Been using these drivers on my other machine for a while. Built a new machine and in the game I love (Nascar 2002) and use this computer for, it locks up after a while. The time it takes to lock up seems to vary also.
Here are the system specs.

OS WinME
AMD 1900+
Visiontek GeForce 4600Ti using the 1.1.82 omega drivers
SB Audigy MP3
60 gig Maxtor ata133 HD

I use the Nascar 2002 game as a test also, I found one night while racing in a league race of my lockup misfortunes. To do these tests I setup the game to run practice for 60 minutes, then race for same amount of time. Trying to give it a length that it has run before flawlessly.

I have run detonator destroyer, cleaned the system and loaded the 29.42's that came with the Video Card. Game runs fine however graphics look bad and frame rate is not as good (48 FPS) as when Omega's are installed.

I then cleaned out those drivers installed the 41.72 drivers, ran the Nascar game and it ran fine again (52 FPS).

But whether I do a clean install of Omega drivers, or go over exsisting ones drivers either the 41.72's or the 29.42's. I can't get this thing to run stable.

What eventually happens is that the screen goes black, and the sound starts looping, Just like the whole system locks up.
I hope you guys can help me as these Omega drivers have spoiled my eyes in the quality and performance (FPS) wise.

Also I do not change anything of the Omega settings, as I understand that he has these "Tuned" to perform correctly this way.

Thanks in advanced, SDager34
