NVIDIA GeForce FX5200 Problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia (More info?)

The above card works very well for me and covers all of my video
needs. It has one annoying problem inasmuch as if I Rt Click the
screen and select properties then click settings and advanced. I then
check the GeForce FX5200 tab and receive the message "Catastrophic
Failure" The whole properties window corrupts and then it closes. Can
anyone advise on what the problem is. I have the latest drivers
downloaded from Windows Update.

Don't use windows update for drivers. Get them from nvidia.com. BTW, you
do need to reload the video driver.
