Well, what do you make of this then...?
As a result of this thread I have just up-dated my n-Vidia drivers from 56.64 to 61.76, (Win '98SE for Ge-Force 4 Ti 4200), and guess what happened... ::)...?
The dreaded blue screen of death with the report "FATAL ERROR"...just the sort of thing you need after walking a load of cat crap from the front lawn onto the living room carpet... >:(...!
All the graphics would revert to 640 X 480, 16 bit colour, after each re-boot... :'(...!
This would constantly happen until I re-installed my original 56.64 drivers.... ;D...!
All is fine again, as though nothing nasty really happened, and it was all a very bad dream, (but the cat crap is still in the carpet)...!
LOL...LOL...LOL...!
I find this quite surprising as I am always cautious to avoid "beta", (un-tested), versions, and the later drivers were WHQL certified for my system... ;)...!
At the moment I find the numbers "56.64" very exciting indeed, and I think I will keep them for a while... 8)...!
LOL...!
Cheers all... ;D...!
Paul.
Interestingly, the graphics quality and final score in 3D Mark 2001SE was very much worse with the later drivers installed... ::)...!
