GeForce 2 and Win98
Ack! Six or eight monthe agoI had problems with my original ATI card so
I went to Best Buy nad picked up what i assumed was a more or less recent card, a GeForce 2 MX 200, 32 MB AGP. See what I get for not researching? Anyway, I just recently got around to installing it, with the driver set ver. 4.13.01 Old problems went away. Now I have new problems. I love this industry. 1) often windows fail to close -- in fact, all 3 gadgets are flaky. 2) Any text or cursors that are supposed to be in reverse color -- aren't. They are now either black or white. 3) Some simple games, like FreeCell from Win98, go to blank white when the game starts (the _second_ write!) 4) and most egregious, many windows' menu bars have the text replaced by a single underline, and drop-down menu items disappear when they receive focus. Now, I have work to do, and I really don't want to scrap this card (however old) and go back to the ATI. I may have to if no one answers this post with good news. So: A) Are there any workarounds for these problesm, or B) Would upgrading to Win XP Pro or Win2000 repair the problems? This is now classed as a 'Legacy" product by NVidia. I'm annoyed that it was on the Best Buy shelf at all, but it's my own damn fault for grabbing it without knowing more. I want to do the minimum-time fix on this one because I'm getting a new machine soon and will relegate this CPU to a client software tester. In the meantime I have programming I can't do. Thabks to any and all. Vince Barmann |
