What exactly does it take to run ofb without crashes?!?
Ambular:
Just thought I'd add here that 7.7.7.7 is widely recommended for use with the Sims. I switched to it from a later driver to get rid of some problems with my GeForce FX 5200, and kept it when I upgraded to a 6800 Ultra, and it still seems to work just fine. Dunno what to suggest if a given PC refuses to accept an older driver, though...
It's pretty sad when even the people who sold you the computer and ordered the new video card say not to use the latest driver. :p
Simsane:
Did you try to completely uninstall your current driver before trying to load the new drivers? That's what they recommend, but I gotta warn you that when I uninstalled my video drivers, my screen was so messed up it took me a while to find the downloaded (but uninstalled driver that I wanted cause I couldn't see the My Documents on my desktop (I have my desktop set to look like 98). Anyway, for anyone that might want some help there is a great site that helps with a lot of things. Here is a link http://tg.sims2techguide.net/
Hope this helps.
I am going to have to try this myself as I just installed OFB last night and was trying to play tonight and the screen kept suddenly going blue with the timer turning for ages. But luckily, each time the screen did go back to normal eventually. And yea, I just upgraded to the Nvidia GEforce 6600 about a month ago when I only had the first three games hoping that it would be better for when I installed OFB. Sucks. Even before I installed OFB, I was getting flourescent pillows and a few other weird graphic problems. I hope I can install one of the 77. series and it fixes it. I'll try to report back as to what happens.

Actually have you guys checked what wattage your PSU's are. Someone else just upgraded their card with similar crashes and were trying to run their system on 250w, which doesn't work.
