video problem

bkupfer · Sep 29, 2004, 01:53 AM

I have a pc with a athlon xp 2.6 with 512 mg ram ddr 333, hard disk of 80 gyga, sound blaster audigy and a video card geoforce FX 5200 with 128 mg ram. I use windows xp with sp1 upgrade. My problem is that I had a pc with similar configuration but with an athlon 1.6 and I play need for speed Porsche and Far Cry very well. Now, The Porsche game is very slowly and in far cry after the presentations and videos, I can´t see anything in the game far from 20 cm (is like smog), The other programs like microsoft office or other utilities have no problem and the pc is a fast one. I update the drivers to last one that is 61.77_win2kxp_international but the problem continues. What can i do?, Thanks.

Suggestion:

Download the newest version of DriverCleaner and install it.

Then...

Go to the control panel, in the Add/Remove Programs area find the "Nvidia Drivers". Click into it, and remove the nVidia video driver.

Then reboot the machine and go into safe mode.

Follow the readme that comes with DriverCleaner to use the program properly, cleaning your computer of all old nVidia drivers.

Then Try the driver of your choice. If you wish to use the 61.77 drivers, it might help to have downloaded the DirectX 9.0c update to make the most use of them. (some drivers CAN be finicky about not having "everything they need".)
