my sytem hangs a few seconds into these games: half life, diablo 2, and max payne just put in Geforce Nvidia 2mx. Put in newest drivers from nvidia's web page. Game hangs a few seconds into game. Must reset computer to get out of it.

I feel stupid but I can't remember where to look for the IRQ usage.

thanks for the drivers but unfortunately that didn't work. I did find a solution though. I rolled back to the original drivers that win xp installed when I first put in the card. They are version 5.1.2001.0 (Microsoft Windows XP Publisher). Now, all seems to work fine. I a little confused why this works but I am not complaining.

thanks, I will be able to go there tonight. maybe around 8 or 9 pm pacific time. i am not currently at my system. R

thanks, where do I get those drivers? I don't see them listed on the nvidia page

I have Voodoo 4, AGP, with latest XP drivers that were given at Windows update when I installed XP. I can not start a game of Half-Life Blue shift. I always get this error message: " selected openGL mode is not supported by your video card." I have almost 500 megs of ram, pentium 3 850mhz. I do not know what to do. I have tried setting all the video features in the game to the lowest values and still no luck. any suggestions?

do you use yours in Half Life? if so, what drivers are you using and what video settings are you using in the game?

thanks, but did not work. I do not get that message anymore but now a new problem. The game now hangs the computer if I try to load. i can not get out of it so I have to hard restart the system. i can play if I use D3D but this is not the best option' thanks for the suggestion. I am stumped--what now?

I have Voodoo 4, AGP, with latest XP drivers that were given at Windows update when I installed XP. I can get into game fine. Problem is the graphics are horrible. Nothing is clear except for the area directly surrounding my character. Then the picture is perfect. This makes it unplayable as I can not make out anything around me.

thanks, worked perfectly:D
