yellowish screen

Hi,

I have a Dell system with a Geforce3 Ti 500 card, and it still has the
drivers that came with it a year and a half ago. I tried to upgrade to
the latest driver I could find (44.03), and on reboot I get a screen
that's very yellowish. The screen is a Dell 1702FP flat panel connected
by DVI. I tried going to 16 bits colors or reducing the resolution, but
it didn't solve anything. As soon as I rollback to the old driver
however, it works fine. Anybody know what might be causing this? Thanks,

Maan

It's your Geforce BIOS that is at fault. I had the exact same problem
with a Geforce 3 Ti200 and Geforce 4 4400 with a Dell 1702FP and
1900FP. I flash upgraded my BIOS on both cards and the 'yellow tint'
is gone.

Try doing a google search for Nvidia BIOS. Here is a link to a site
that is down right now. I don't know if it's coming back or not:

What was the version of the BIOS that your card originally had?

My Geforce 3 had 3.20.00.16.23. I did not write down what version my
Geforce 4 card had.
