I have had a nvidia riva TNT2 32Mb AGP Graphcis card. The provider is Sparkle. I updated my graphics card drivers to detonator 21.43 and that ran fine until I recently decided to get Detonator 41 drivers. It has ruined my games even at default settings. I have tried to apply all of the effects to enhance it t no succession.
DirectX 8.1b would not cosnider this driver Microsoft signed which i presmue is the reason for the games running at a very slow rate!! Some like Nightfire 007 even refuse to run. Quake III Arena and Serious Sam run but at a real slow rate. It took five mins to exit the app!
I installed DirectX 9 and no change.
The drivers have also cause my videos to be very temperamental. One mnute they are smooth as butter and the next they are all speckled and dotty. So my idea was to remove them.
So i did, only to find that it caused a start up error message which i cant remove. I have tried all other alternatives even unintsalling all the drivers and relayering them form 20 to 41 - no success. It still produces that error message.
Please help me correct the graphcis driver problem and the message problem shoudl I want ot give the new grapichs driver the boot. My "Ferrari" PC is as follows: (shame it runs like an old mini cooper though!!!!)
AMD Athlon XP 2000+
768Mb SDRAM
10GB Hard Drive
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 🙂 Great but lost my Serial Ports and still crashes!!! :-(
nVidia Riva TNT2 32MB AGP Graphics card

Thanks for your time.
