MarkMcMaster Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "GEForce 4 Problem" 06-28-02, 22:06z  Hi All, Finally got the OLR installed and running properly. I've installed a Siluro GEForce4 MX440 video card from Abit, replacing my antique TNTPro, but while frame rates are much improved, the card irregularly locks up whilst running FS2002. It seems to be a DirectX problem, since the same thing happens w/ CFS2, has happened once in Links 2000, and even the WinXP 3D screensaver! When it locks, only a Reset will unlock the computer, everything is locked tight. DirectXDiag reports no problems. I'm running WinXP Home, with the latest reference drivers from Nvidia (2.9.4.2). I've tried 4 sets of drivers, 2 of the ref drivers from Nvidia & 2 from Abit, to no avail. Disabling Table Fog Emulation seemed to've helped somewhat. Is anyone running a GEForce 4 MMX successfully, and if so what is disabled/enabled that I've missed? I think I've thrown most of the suspect switches but there are a LOT of possible configurations, many of which I suspect don't apply to FS. I'm about to return this card, replacing it with the PNY GEForce3 Ti220 that Norm has raved about, but I may well end up supplying 'tech support' for a friend with a GEForce4 MMX when he installs FS2002 in the not too distant future, so I'd like to be forearmed. Besides, I HATE being stumped by something like this <g>. Mark -= VPC OffLine Reader Version 1.1.0.0 =- + UNREGISTERED + -OLR.PL v1.76- Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
