TGEA 1.7.1 blue screen

Apologies if this is a repeat...but has anyone seen this? Any help is appreciated.
..................................
I just installed TGEA 1.7.1, ran one of the demos, and got an immediate blue screen.
Running any demos result in a blue screen. I have a multiple boot machine, so I tried running on another fresh XP pro install...same blue screen.
Rebuilt one of the demo (Visual Studio 2008)...same blue screen.
Created a new simple project & rebuilt...same blue screen.
However, it works on my Vista Ultimate install...go figures.
All the above situations also occur with TGEA 1.7.0 builds & demos. My previous TGEA 1.0.3 does not have these problems.
Here's my machine's configs:
Dell Precision 670
Xeon dual cpus
4G ram
XP pro sp3
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX
ForceWare version 175.19
DirectX SDK June 2008

But I did try copying the 1.7.1 tgea.exe into a 1.7.0 beta and it said it couldn't initialize the graphics module ( something along those lines) so maybe the latest nvidia driver installer is a bit bad at removing the older drivers, and causes major errors like this. You could try completely removing graphics drivers if you had older drivers installed before the latest release.
Remember to have direct x installed and the drivers on the other fresh xp install.

Hey I was having the same problem, sadly the only way i got it to work was a fresh install of xp. I think the problem has to be the 8800, I have the same graphics card and had the blue screen when I ran tgea, but I just assumed it was only a problem for my pc...
