Subject: driver for display goes to a infinite loop by viewing a html!

Windows 2000 SP4, IE 6 (all fully updated) with a old/integrated
Matrox Mystique (drivers included with Win2000) showed no problems.
Took it a extra sec to display the page (like 6-8 seconds), but it was
only a dual-PII system. After loading was able to scroll around.

Knoppix Live Linux CD, Mozilla 1.6 with a nVidia GF4 ti4800 SE 128MB
AGP also no problems at all. Loaded quickly, was able to scroll around
and such. I've loaded the nVidia display drivers from the "Live
Installer" and restarted X. Not sure if that would have anything to do
with it.

No trouble on FireFox 0.9 or IE 6 (all updates) on Window XP Corp
w/SP1 either (Same nVidia GF4 ti4800 SE 128MB AGP card as above.) 
*shrugs* Was able to scroll around and it loaded fast too. (Like 1-2
seconds)

Peace. ~G
