Yeah, it's the driver. Try older drivers until it works.
It's like advanced alien technology! :)

If that driver doesn't work, then keep trying older and older drivers until you find a driver that works.

hey jcrew
there is a 150+ page thread about this problem. i think it was a Valve patch that broke TF2 for us.
it was bad enough when my FPS went into the toilet from a TF2 update. it's seems my use of a DX9 cfg for more FPS won't help this problem.
in the steam thread people are having luck with either running windows default drivers (win7), or using DX8 (maxframes)

yeah ill have to check that thread, i rolled back the drivers and all is well, TF2 has many updates all the time, bugs are to be expected.

nvMcJohn (the NVIDIA guy) is using debug drivers with Valve to resolve these problems.
hope it gets fixed soon.
