nVidia GeForce 2 MX 200 problems

by seomus . Updated 24 years, 9 months ago

OK… first, let me tell you what I’ve got:
1. AMD K6 2 500 underclocked to 450 because the board won’t take more than that.
2. 128 mb of PC100 mem
3. Of course, the GeForce
4. Windows ME
5. An ASUS motherboard I’ve never been able to find the exact specs on.

In any case, the vid card works fine… until I try to play Mech Warrior 4, Wheel of Time, or Vampire. It’s at that point that the beginning movies will work fine, but when you get into playing, it all goes to hell ( pardon ). Lines and triangles flashing on and off the screen, it basically looks like it may be trying to draw the screen and failing miserably to do so. I’ve tried the updated drivers from nVidia’s site, but that’s not working, tried lowering the graphics settings on all these games, nothing works there. It’s an AGP card and I only have one slot, so I can’t try moving it to a different slot, either. I’ve set Init Display First in the BIOS to AGP – also tried VGA there. Neither work. I have become stumped. Help?
