CREATIVE NVIDIA TI4600 on XP - PROBLEMS!!!

[martinrourke1]

Hi Everyone,

I have recently upgraded to XP from 98SE and have had running in 98SE a Creative Labs GE-FORCE Blaster TI4600 without any issues whilst in 98SE.

Since upgrading and installing the new drivers from the Nvidia web site for the card, i cannot install it correctly. My disply drops to 4 colours with a ridiculously low resolution! I also start to get run DLL errors and eventually have to perform a System restore to use the standard VGA drivers on XP. All other hardware is fine.

I have tried installing the drivers on the Manufacturers CD ROM, using the updated drivers both downloaded from the web and from freebie CD'S with magazines. I have tried re-seating the card and have also re-installed 98SE from scratch where the card continues to work with no issues.

Any ideas?

Spec is:-

LEX BN780 PRO motherboard
Athlon 1Gig Thunderbird processor
384mb sdram.
WINDOWS XP 2002 upgrade.

Thanks for that...i think i have done everything ok as per the link but will try again tonight.

I have tried 3 or 4 times now and can still not fathom the problem.

Must be driver related yes/no?
