Geforce 2 Mx 1280 problems with directx

Had same problem. Have the almost the exact same setup, but Radeon 32DDR and W2K. Never really figured out problem, but did a fresh install, and so far, no problems. What I do know is that I had setup Netmeeting, and installed some sharing software (Gnutella, Bear Share). Didn't install Bear Share, and reconfigured Netmeeting. Running smoothly for 4 weeks now.

Uninstall the video card through the device manager. Remove and reinstall the drivers. Check with Nvida for all of the correct BIOS settings. Also make sure the fan in running smoothly and sitting directly on the video card. Use thermal grease if itis not. If it is running hot, this is the problem. Is this NT that you are running or 9X?

Hi one thing to check is the monitor type is set correctly. If the games are running a lower resolution to the windows desktop the vertical refresh maybe too high for your monitor.

Best of Luck

I've also come across this problem with a number of customers. apprently it has something to do with the graphic drivers conflicting with the directdraw in directx. At the moment the only suggestion I found that seems to work is to disable directdraw (but then you have to enable it to play DVD's). Its not a perfect solution though so I'm personally looking into this one. I've also heard that installing an older version of the driver works...have yet to try this.

Is it Windows ME?

Nvidia just released new WHQL drivers (12.41). Have you given them a try?
