Help Needed Troubleshooting Video Card
My daughter has a system, Win98, Geforce 2MX videocard. Suddenly video
card isn't working. It shows up in Device Manager. I can only set it it to 16 colors 640X480. When I try to install the newest drivers, it installs ok but when I reboot, as soon as windows starts, I get a black screen. I have to reboot in safemode and make sure the setting is 16 colors 640X480. No Nvidia icon is present in the tray. I noticed the card is set to IRQ 5 if that means anything. Refresh rate is set to monitor default. Any ideas? Thanks. |

Have you booted to Safe Mode and removed any/all video/display devices and then
rebooting/reinstalling? If 2 or more of the same device show there may be driver conflicts/corruption. Did you get the drivers from: http://www.nvidia.com/object/win9x_77.72.html You also mention 98, not 98SE. I notice the drivers at the site link have DirectX 9.0 which has caused some issues with 98. Can you get to the display wizard/configuration via Display Settings Advanced and run the troubleshooter? -- Brian A.
