Hey! Exactly (as in -exactly-) the same thing happened to me. The newest
NVidia "ForceWare" drivers (88.??) do -exactly- the same thing on my
GeForce 6800LE based card. The only ones that work with my games, the card
(i. e. XP does resolutions above 400x300x8 with it) and works with Moray
and Blender is the 77.77 version drivers.

You might try a system restore - my Windows install was overdue for a format
anyway (some other stuff was also screwed up after trying to play Silent
Hunter III - which replaces some CDROM drive drivers to ensure copy
protection of the game) so I just reformatted the entire system, installed
the 77.77 Nvidida drivers and now everything works.
