Only the usual:

reinstall the GeForce drivers
reinstall CS
reinstall DirectX (DX8 was just released)

Hey,

Just a note: When using Nvidia chipsets with Cstrike, I notice text problems when running in D3D. Try running in OpenGL. If its happening in OpenGL, change your drivers. I noticed certain versions of the Det 3 drivers were doing exactly whats happening to you in Xwing Alliance.
Good luck, and keep me posted.

same thing in both d3d and opengl....i haven't had a chance to try the new dx8 drivers but i'll let you know if it works.

Get the newest Nvidia Reference drivers you can get for it.

Hey,

Try the 7.17 beta drivers. They have been getting great marks, and are seemingly designed for DX8.

well with the 7.17b drivers i couldn't even get a game to start in openGl but i went back to my old ones and got dx8. my fps dropped in open but i'm getting higher than i've ever seen in d3d so i'm happy. thanks to everyone.
