Texture problems with games?
A few months ago I was able to play "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" with no
problems whatsoever. I am using a "Geforce 4 ti4200 8x" and the game ran absolutely fine, no problems at all. But I uninstalled it a while a go and when I installed it again yesterday to play I noticed a lot of texture problems within the game. Certain things were out of place and there was graphics in places there shouldn't be. It looked a total mess. At first I thought it might be because I was using a newer driver than the one I used to uses so I tried another, but still got the same problem. After trying around 5 different older drivers I gave up. What could the problem be? Could it be hardware related and that my card is damaged in someway? I only seem to get the problem if I play games that require the full use of my card - with less demanding games I don't have any problems. Help Appreciated. _____ Gaffer |

Help Appreciated. _____ Gaffer Your reporting is rife with error and false leads. You claim a mere "uninstall", when in fact you have a driver change in the interim. Not to mention, you describe nothing of real value to the troubleshooter. So, I can only suggest that you revert to the driver version you were using, prior to your uninstalling. If you can not find that, you will have to go back to trial and error. However, in order to rule out hardware failure, run any other rendered application, if that works, the card works. |

If you would just provide the details in the 1st place and quit screwing
around, you might already have your answer. "Gaffer" wrote in message news:xlTec.16047$4N3.5208@newsfe1-win... "Derek Wildstar" wrote in message news:0jTec.28592$xn4.52181@attbi_s51...

You need to COMPLETELY remove the existing mess of nVidia drivers you have
installed and then install ONLY the 45.23 driver for stability with that card. -- DaveW "Gaffer" wrote in message news:a2Tec.113$zC5.112@newsfe1-win...

If you have XP just use system restore and quit ****ing around..... ****. From then on, stop molesting your system if you aren't ready to face the consequences. Here you are, blatantly spitting out the answer for yourself and you still disregard it. |

What's the best way to completely remove all current Nvidia drivers and install only 45.23? I'm using Windows 98. _____ Gaffer |
