Hi everyone,
I digitise videos on an old XP SP2 machine. The reason I use this old OS is that the hardware and software is the most compatible with this set up, mainly Premiere Pro 2 and a Matrox RX100 capture card.
I have recently had to rebuild a new machine from scratch, only issue is the GFX card. I get glitchy lines appear over the screen. The PC still runs most of the time without crashing but it's clearly an issue and making it unstable.
I have a GTS 450 NVIDIA card and this is the driver that I have partial success with...
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/windows/280_26/winxp-280-26-whql-driver/
Only issue is, an error message comes up saying its incompatible, the only way around this is to copy and paste a line into one of the text files of the NVIDIA driver folder to make it think it's the right driver using the GFX card hardware ID code from Device Manager.
This is what I paste (PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1405&SUBSYS_093910DE&REV_A1)
https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/77225
This is the version I tried to use initially (as advised by the guy I bought the machine off) but this would make the PC crash trying to install it, so even worse.
I also tried driver NVDIA 368.81 but it says incompatible again.
The computer will crash for example when I've been digitising a tape for an hour and I lose the file, this isn't every time but I'd like to make a more robust machine.
Other spec:
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU
Q6600 @ 2/40ghz
2.40ghz, 3.25 ghz of RAM
All other drivers are installed properly.
Would I be better off buying a more modern PC and a running a virtual machine on it with XPSP2?
I'm open to suggestions but I feel confident that it's just that I'm not using the correct GFX driver.
Any help appreciated.
Many thanks,
Ollie
