Pretty Annoying Problem
This is a discussion about Pretty Annoying Problem in the Windows Hardware category; EVERY application that isn't bundled with 2195 blue-screens on launch. You name it, Diablo, JBuilder3, Word/Excel/PowerPoint 2000, Halflife, etc. all bluescreen and reboot. What is going on? This has happened with NVIDIA's Det Drivers 3.
EVERY application that isn't bundled with 2195 blue-screens on launch. You name it, Diablo, JBuilder3, Word/Excel/PowerPoint 2000, Halflife, etc. all bluescreen and reboot.
What is going on? This has happened with NVIDIA's Det Drivers 3.78,3.76,3.69. I can't figure it out.
My specs:
AMD K6-2, 256 SDRAM, Win2k resides on a 2gb partition on my first 10.1gb hdd (there are 2). Win98/Linux are also around (i triple boot). Viper V550 PCI. Creative Labs 16 Plug n Pray sound card.
Any help would really really be appreciated.

Ensure that you have the following suggested settings in your system BIOS setup:
1. Enable "Assign IRQ to VGA" if possible.
2. Disable "VGA Palette Snoop".
3. Disable "Video BIOS Cache" and "Video BIOS Shadow".
4. Disable "C800-CBFFF Shadow" or similar options.
5. Set AGP Aperture Size to about half the size of system RAM size.

PIII 450
128 MB Ram
DV 770 32Mb TNT2 (Det. 3.76)
QF 8.4Gb HDD
Tekram DC-310 SCSI Adapter
CW-7502 CD-R
SB PCI 64
Windows 2000 2195.1

OP
Well...I followed those suggestions, and they didn't kill my comp...then again they didn't help it either
So I went and found the oldest reference drivers around namely 1.56 OpenGL (from Chameleon's site). And guess what, it works...
*shrug* thanks anyway.

Sorry man, but I know at the point you are @, anything is worth a try. I have huge probs, namely with Q3a. I have to format when I do a video driver update so that quake will run. Perhaps you should reset you bios. make the above changes, format and reinstall. It can't hurt to try *shrug*
