I've never had good luck switching video drivers under Windows without a reinstall. The one time I managed to make it work, I had to uninstall all the old drivers, set everything back to 'standard VGA', reboot, hang, reboot, detect new hardware, reboot, hang, reboot download & install the latest drivers, reboot, download & install the latest DirectX, reboot, reboot. At that point I could run most games again. The next weekend, I wiped the windows partition clean and reinstalled. - -- mwl+blu at alumni.unh.edu OpenPGP KeyID 0x57C3430B Holder of Past Knowledge CS, O- Put your wasted CPU cycles to use: http://www.distributed.net/ You can't have too many buttons--only too little surface area -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE70EPC5rgdHFfDQwsRAjc7AKCOTCn3Ebz4b0Lxs7amlu5NB/J6swCfR48f LsOsVtycB/Tb21kEhW+XMGk= =DbXv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
