DVI colors all wrong with latest drivers - dvi.jpg (0/1)

I still cannot upgrade to the latest Nvidia drivers after 6 months.

My system is a GeForce 3 TI200 with a Dell 1900FP. I am using a KT400
chipset, Athlon 2100XP, 1gig ram, Windows XP-SP1. I just tried the
44.03 drivers. If I use the drivers from Microsoft Windows update they
work fine.

Anytime I download the latest drivers from Nvidia my display colors go
all weird with the DVI interface. I have the Dell 1900 monitor
profile loaded. I am running the native resolution for the monitor.
I have also tried other resolutions, 16 bit mode and nothing changes.

I have formatted the system, moved the monitor to a different system
(GeForce 4/4200) and get the same results.

I have enclosed a picture of my color problem.

Thanks

First of all not many people will be able to see your attachment as ISP's
often delete binaries when posted to a non-binary newsgroup. Also it is
generally frowned upon in doing so. Not everyone has a fast connection and
111kb attachments can make a big difference. If you can upload the pictures
to a website and provide a link that should offer a solution.

However of the three News Servers I use 1 does seem to let binaries through
and on looking at the sample I would have to say...

What is wrong with it...? You mention a colour problem and yet, from what I
can see, there does not appear to be a problem..!!! Maybe the screen grab
that you uploaded does not illustrate what you mean very well, but don't be
encouraged to upload another please

If your drivers work fine with the Windows Update then why bother as the
difference with your card and the latest reference drivers are going to be
so marginal but like I have said I can't see a problem - maybe someone else
will..???

The drivers from MS don't work with programs like PinMAME. What I did
not realize is the picture looks fine on a display that is working
correctly.

Have you tried running "Plug and Play" monitor instead?

Here is a link to a photo I took of what my colors look like. I
removed the Dell 1900 driver but am not prompted to change the monitor
now. The button is not active.

Ok I got the Plug&Play loaded, same problem.

Hi there Gray..I to had very simela probs as you on my old set up (MSI K7T
PRO, GeForce4 440mx 64MB DDR TVOUT ECT ECT). When ever i downloaded latest
drivers and installed them i had many probs (some like yours and others
different from yours). I spent ages trying to be able to use latest nvidia
drivers ( i did everything you can think of). Eventualy what solved the prob
for me was flashing my bios and its couldnt be easyer with a MSI M/B when
you use there util to do it..After flashing my bios i was able to use all
latest updates from nvidia no probs @ all. I now have a MSI K7N2 DELTA and
have no probs @ all in any way at all :-) Hope this helps sort you out as
theres nothing more anoying than being unable to use latest drivers
(expecialy if your into gaming as i am, and also some of the money we pay
for a video card goes towards driver updates anyway).

Finally solved my problem. Everything works great now with the latest
44.03 drivers!!!

My GeForce 3 card had bios 3.20.00.16.23. I found some interesting
articles on Google with MANY Geforce 3 problems with DVI. I finally
found some reference bios from Nvidia that did the trick. I am now
running 3.20.00.18.
