Grand Prix Legends works best with the Nvidea 30.82 drivers, Flight Simulator 2004 works best with the very latest Nvidia drivers (40.??).

I have a Gainward Geforce 2 MX, 64mb card, Win 98SE, 512 mb Ram, AMD 2000XP Athlon.

Is there any way to have both drivers installed with a choice of which one to use? I suppose a dual boot hard drive would solve this but is there any other way it can be done? I don't fancy wasting space with 2 OSs just to accomplish this.

Thanks for any replies

Not a good idea. Too many potential problems due to conflicting drivers. You would have to uninstall and install drivers each time. Only other way is to have two video cards, one agp and one pci, and enable and disable them using Hardware profiles, then choosing which profile you want to use when booting.

Almost easier to have a dual boot setup. But hardly worth it just to play two different games.

Pick one that you can live with, or find a driver that runs both games satisfactorily.

Hmm..a motherboard with TWO agp slots... some games run nicer on nVidia cards and some nicer on ATI cards...hmmm...not bloody likely;)
