Flickering and crashes on VIA and Geforce2 GTS

The Viper

Hi I'm read in some of the posts, that some of your have the same problem that I have. That is my 3D games won't work. The image flickers and the computer hangs, when I try to leave the game. Same thing happens, if I test AGP in DXDIAG.

fred

I have a Starscan 4800 found drivers compatible with windows 98 , alas Adobe Photoshop does not activate my scanner. I also have seen the notice on the website : Starscan 4800 (Starscan) No W2000 04/00 crash all apps like Photoshop when you try to import a twain32 scan so it seems I can't make any scans anymore.

Boot Loop

zapper

I have a strange problem with my WIN2000 install. Windows will not complete the boot process, as the furthers that it gets is to the Logon screen/box. After logging on, the WIN 2000 sound comes on but the Windows screen stays blank with only the background color, no icons.

Have you installed any VIA Drivers on you XP systems. I just installed XP and it runs great. Should I install VIA 4in1 or is that a bad idea? What drivers do you use with you GeForce cards? I'm running 7.
