GeForce 2MX problem
Hi
I want to play Railroad tycoon 3 on my Geforce 2MX. All my buildings and trains are white, no matter what the detail settings in game or drivers. Minimum requirements are a graphics card with 16 mb of meme, mine has 32mb. Anyone had this problem an knows how to solve it. It worked fine with the same drivers, {newest ones} on mine machine upstairs which had a XFX 6600gt {128mb ram} before a tiny chip on the card fried and killed the card. Card now sent out under warranty {don't expect to see it fora couple of months}. --------------- in 6 years a power supply failed {fuse inside blown out} Duron 600 Mhz 640 Mb ram VIa KT133 mombo {Gigabyte} Geforce 2MX (32Mb) Leadtek Windows XP sp2 Directx 9.0c Nvidia 7.72 drivers --------------- 6 months and hard drive died, graphics card died {more time waiting for parts then using} Athlon64 (3000+) 1GB ram nForce 4x mombo {Gigabyte} Geforce 6600GT (128Mb) - chip on Windows XP sp2 Directx 9.0c Nvidia 77.72 drivers Thanks Martin |

Have you checked, on the game's box, whether it is compatible with that
considerably older underpowered video card? -- DaveW "No Spam" wrote in message ... Hi I want to play Railroad tycoon 3 on my Geforce 2MX.

Do DxDiag or benchmark programs have any problems with your Geforce 2MX card? Do you have a new enough VIA 4-in-one package installed? |

The soldiers are invisible, I only see their shadows. This however could be a minimum requirement problem, don't havethe box as it came with mine 6600gt card. I'll try newer version of via 4 in 1, I'm doubtfull, as the drivers are less then a year old and the chip has not been produced for many years. |

Start by reducing the hardware acceleration in the graphics driver setup. If that doesn't fix it, try uninstalling the graphics card drivers and installing the ones that came with the card. If that doesn't help, try installing nvidia drivers with a version number of 57 or less. Old drivers are available from: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_archive.html If that doesn't help, try version 43 or less. If that doesn't help, you might have to buy a version 6000 series or better card. Sig: I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them. -- Isaac Asimov |
