Ever sence i upgraded to windows xp the settings for my graphics card have dissapeared... I have tried reinstalling drivers and all but so far no luck.  I know its active just......

This nice crisp quality is what i used to get...

This is what i get now...Nice and jagged...


There used to be a special little popup list on the bottom corner where i could change my AA settings and such...Its gone and no matter what i do i can not seem to access those settings.  Ive been all over the computers files and control panel looking for them and no luck....Any ideas as to where they could be  ???

Right click on your desktop, select Properties, then, click on Settings, followed by advanced. Then, click on "GeForce FX5200", subsequently click Tools, then finally, you'll see an option to enable taskbar Icon or something similar.

You'll now be able to restore your lost settings.

If the above dosent give you the option of selecting "GeForce FX5200" then chances are your graphics drivers need re-installing.

Here, you'll find the latest Nvidia drivers.

Hope this helps.

Hmm...maybe a system restore?

I am running XP, and here's where my nVidia utilities ended up...

Right-click the desktop, Properties, etc., etc.
Hope that helps...
And yes, if not, take jordanj's advice (I guess).

Now that would be the box i used to get.  Now i get nothing like it.  Ive reinstalled, updated, and more and so far no luck.  I tried the right clicking way as well...Nothing.  Going to try some more ideas ive had.  Hopefully something will come by soon

Nvidia > Performance & quality > AA settings Max not App controlled?

Just asking...you did try completely uninstalling the card (via device manager) then reinstalling, and updating..

Try overwriting newer files if you get the message...

Well...popped in the disk and reinstalled the old drivers...And wouldnt ya know it...That nice little box is back.  As well as the one in the taskbar  Soon as i updated...Lost it all...So im leaving it at the origional drivers and no more upgrades:P

Everything back in order now.........  Only the ocasional mild jag on the tip of a wing but nothing like before:)
   

I have noticed that problem with Raedon Drivers as well from time to time...

By the way, do you know you can roll back drivers in Device manager too?

It really didn't look that bad before, if there is anything I could do without in FS it would be antiailiasing.
