Wulfy Posted December 7, 2001 Author Share Posted December 7, 2001 GREAT! WTH are we supposed to do then?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS_Dragons Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Try going into the setup for the games and tell it to 'render in software' -- I have seen many posts elsewhere saying that works for lots of games. Soon, the publishers will have to post updates that 'fix' things for XP.LS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie101 Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 Give the 21.83 drivers a tryI haven't had any problems since installing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APG_Zippy Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 Wulfy, you don't say what make your card is or what version your driver is.I have seen many posts on the Nvidia 23.11 driver, most bad. I have had a problem with that driver (not as bad as yours) and I have changed to 22.50. I have run benchmark tests on most XP nvidia drivers and 22.50 works best for me.Check the web site of your card manufacturer and also as already posted check your 4 in 1 (if you have a Via chipset). Your card maunfacturer should have the latest XP drivers for your card. If that don't work let me know. You can e-mail me @ Zippy@apgaming.com.

[/quote:73b39e2b47]Ive got the Geforce 2 Ultra from elsa and never had a promblem with any of those games. One game that wouldnt work was TonyHawks Pro skater, but all I had to do is get the update for it. Your having a promblem with your Nvidia drivers. I would highly suggest you explore different Det. 4 drivers, also use the search feture on the main page (top right)....this topic has been discussed soooo many times.-XPerties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basch Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 I've trying and surfing all day and there is only 1 solution (which seriously dislike):You will have to reduce your memory speed from 133 Mhz to 100 Mhz in your bios. This means a great loss of performance but it's the only known workaround yet. I tried it and it fixed the problem for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 It's a driver problem. Roll back your current Nvidia drivers, search for the 21.83 drivers then install that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Booger Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 Drivers, try them all... up to the 27.20 dets.Next try the Mhz reduction as referred in a previous post. And then try going to your display propertiesgo to control panel, display, settings, troubleshooting, reduce the hardware acceleration until the games start to work. And make sure enable writing combining is unchecked.And try to use the programs in compatibility mode.Also if you have overclocked that card, undo whatever you did. Another thing, try a different card. If you still get the same results maybe your XP installation is crap.Try playing with your direct X settings!And lastly, get the new Geforce4 Ti 200 card.Big Booger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 And yet another suggestion, try upgrading your direct X to 8.0a. Big Booger [/quote:a52fdee6ce]On XP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Booger Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 I know XP is supposed to have the latest direct x, but its only 8.0 there is an 8.0a made for 2K and i have read on some sites where this fixes some issues. Or you could wait around until direct x 8.1 or 9.0 etc...BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 There's already an 8.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 If you run dxdiag you'll see that XP already has version 8.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Booger Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 I knew that, i don't know why i suggested this, other than I am sure I saw on a tweap board something about directx and 8.0a making a difference, from the one that is initially installed with XP. So please disregard that point in my following post.Sorry,"hey the bugger sometimes gets confused"Big Booger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
