Hi;

I'm having trouble with this card I installed the latest driver and at first it didn't work after a bit it would turn the screen to lines and my cusor to a square block of color.
Now it works but I can't get 16bit high color
64K or 256 works only now 16mill was working earlier but not now Why and whats going on???

Hi;

Ok ;well the drivers i used were the originals that shipped with it then i upgraded it to nividia 23.83 then I upgraded to a newer vendor software and reinstalled the 23.83 (a lot eh???)
Then I upgraded to a newer nvidia driver then pulled it out .

Now I just upgraded to the 23.11 version from the site after a remove or two it worked and would only give me 64k color.
No 16bit high which I use for the desktop etc.

Now I just removed it all again and didn't install the drivers and it's all working you tell me eh???

I think it might have been because of my virus checker or just bad drivers but untill I need the tv-out I'll not use the drivers (need longer cord ).

As long as it's working, who knows

Post back if you have anymore trouble with it

AAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhh;

Now quake3 point release will not work and I had to reinstall the drivers to try to fix it(still 64k or 256 color).
An the point release doesn't work

You might want to try this

Make sure whenever you do a reinstall of the display drivers again, you also go into the registry
and delete all the 0000, 0001, 0002, etc. sub-directories under the Display folder:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Display

These sometime retain all the messed up settings from before and doing a deinstall doesn't always
get rid of them.
