How long...
....before a new release of the forceware drivers for winxp? (Not the already
available beta...) I cannot stand the 77.72 version anymore. I reverted to the 71.89 hoping to solve issues with Thief Deadly Shadows to no effort. How long does it normally take before the beta testing expires and a new verson is released? Of course, a stable version :-) I wouldn't go back any further for fear of other issues (for example the next available backversion has issues with Star Wars Republic Commando, that I own, of course :-( Stefano |

During gameplay my pc crashes and the screen goes blank; the monitors comes up with an out of range warning, refresh rate too high (192 Hz) and the only way to restart the computer is the reset button. I opened the memory dump crash file and the result is always the same: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50) Invalid system memory was referenced. Probably caused by : nv4_disp.dll Or: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED OVERLAPPED_MODULE: Address regions for 'SAVRT' and 'kmixer.sys' overlap DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID: DRIVER_FAULT Probably caused by : nv4_disp.dll The only solution is to wait for the new release of forceware, as the release notes of the beta version mention this problem.

It's doubtful if newer drivers will fix a problem with an old game.
Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and use older drivers. Happened to me(and others) with FX cards and Gothic 2.

How high did you set your AGP aperture in BIOS?

(Not the already available beta...) It's a PciX card, so I guess there shouldn't be anything agp related in the bios. Stefano |
