how do you use codeboxes?

Edited October 22, 2006 by awergh

[ripken204]

well it looks like its failing when doing domething with the openGL driver...

[awergh]

well i forgot to mention specs so,

Intel Celeron 700Mhz

256MB RAM

98se

Nvidia Geforce 4 MX 420 PCI

81.89 Detonator Driver

should i uninstall and reinstall the driver?

[ripken204]

it cant hurt to try, is there an updated driver?

[awergh]

81.89 was the last for 98se

[awergh]

installed different driver (43.23) and now it works.

[ripken204]

nice

just wondering, what is that new driver called?

[awergh]

what do you mean the driver im using now is version 45.23 i think

the last for 9x is 81.98

the latest for nt5x is 95.97
