after installing my XFX Geforce 9500 gt card along with the drivers everything seamed to work but when attempting to play a game the only thing that appears is the frame of the window in which the game is supposed to run. also, unless i have the hardware acceleration set to none, when ever i drag a window the positions where the window passed through are shown (slow redraw or refresh rate, one of the two)
in the device manager, it shows a yellow exclamation point next to the graphics card; in it`s properties it says
"This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)"
when trying to access the NVIDIA Control Panel a message appears which says
"NVIDIA Display settings are not available You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU"
when trying to access one of my games, a message comes up which say
"Your video card performance has not been found. A quick becnch will be performed."
this is followed by the frame of the game window and then by a message which says
"Could not retrieve your graphics drive performance. Automatic graphics quality may be inadequate."
then when the game runs only the frame of the window appears
the drivers have been uninstalled and installed again multiple times using the drive from the cd (version 178.24W) as well as the latest one from the websaite, windows has been updated completely, old integrated graphics card drivers have also been uninstalled
what do i have to do to make this work?
