geforce 3 problems :(

[Kurik]

Lo there.

Got hold of a geforce 3 card ... which is better then my old gf2mx... and now the game crashes instantly when i login. I have tried reinstalling gfx drivers and directx. I did a dxdaig test and tested direct3d 7, 8 and 9.

With direct3d 7 test i didnt see the box rotating as i should do, but i saw with d3d 8 and 9.

After this i did reinstall directx and gfx drivers.. but i still get the same. Any soul out there with similar problems?

Any hints welcomed.

Cheers.

Try and set the AGP speed to 1X
Display properties -> Advanced

unfortunately i didnt solve the problem... well.. i guess i did.. getting new card today.

i tried different settings in bios... turn off fastwrite etc.. and other stuff in windös... but i kinda gave up.

if you come up with something, would be nice to know... so post there if you find a solution.

Try http://www.3dchipset.com/ for the 30.82 Nvidia drivers, my old Geforce 3 runs fine with them. They are old drivers but very stable with the Geforce 3.

Fastwrite off and agp x4 in bios
set AGP size to 128.
turn off all cache in bios too

BTW you can try runnning dxdiag from the commandline with the addition of a -ghost parameter. this removes all traces of prior versions of DirectX from your machines.
