I picked up an old system (a Systemax with an AMD 900, 128 ram) and it had
an old ATI Rage Pro card with 8 megs of ram. I took that out and put in the
Geforce 2 Pro card with 64 megs.
It booted up fine (WinXP Pro), but when I installed the drivers and
rebooted, I lose video (monitor shuts down) after the XP Pro screen. The
Welcome screen doesn't display, which is the first screen at the desktop
resolution. I can boot up in safe mode at 800x600, I've tried the newest
drivers from Nvidia and the drivers on Windows Update.
I have a disk with older drivers on it, I'll probably try them next. I
also tried turning down the hardware acceleration, to no effect.
Any ideas? TIA.
