Just double click the *.reg file (unpack it from the zip archive first) - this will import a key to your registry, enabling the additional options in your GC driver menu. Right click on the desktop --> properties --> select "6600GT" tab. Then go -> AGP settings and find "Other settings".
Second, check the white "Capabiliy" box: Please report what the entries for "Fast Writes" are (GPU, Chipset, OS)

There is no checkbox "Fast Writes" in the "other settings"? Then you can try to drag down (left) the slider to '4x', but this won't help much if FW is the real problem. Since this is all you can try then at the moment, give it a shot anyway.
nope it's no where else, setting to agp 4x also doesnt work, as it just reverts back to 8x!! umm..yeah fast writes is there and i can turn it off...but it turns back on when i click apply.

I assume you clicked "Apply" before leaving the driver menu. Then the only way to reduce the AGP speed is via the BIOS again...That's a mess - I just read that the tool "Powerstrip" lets you deactivate FW but don't ask me if this works on your system or where to find that option Do you know the exact model and manufacturer of your mainboard? Tell me please. Maybe Google finds something helpful then...
