I keep getting these crashes in both HG:L and Crysis, but I don't think they are application specific. I'm confused on how to fix it.

Here's the dxdiag, and crash information:

looks like you have got the unsigned drivers re download Nvidia 169.17drivers and make sure DX is up to date windows update

This is a video card driver problem? I thought it was a corruption in windows xp professional. I have all the windows updates, and since I play both games in dx9 I think DirectX 9.0c 4.09.0000.0904 is the latest version. Where can I get 169.17 drivers at? The latest WHQL drivers are 169.02.

Downloaded/installed 169.17 and november 2007 dx9 redistributable and got the same crash.
