eVGA Nvidia FX5200 causes Corel Draw 9 crash 1

[oldcal]

Since installing eVGA Nvidia eGeforce FX5200 256MB; Corel Draw 9 locks up/crashes.
mobo = Asus A7V133 Rev.1.05, chipset VIA Apollo KT133A
Bios;BIOS: Award Software, Inc. ASUS A7V-133 ACPI BIOS Revision 1009 04/23/2002.
CPU; AMD Athlon 1GHz, Memory; 1.5G PC133.
Corel Draw 9 has latest patches, FX5100 runs latest driver.

When FX5200 was replaced with original Diamond Viper 550.
Corel ran fine! (no hangups)

Put FX5200 back - Corel Draw 9 still locks up.

have you tried re-installing Coral so it picks up the new graphics card, with an application which relies heavily on the graphics card it stands to reason that any changes to the graphics card needs to be picked up by Coral.

 

[oldcal]

m33sta, please explain what you mean by 'picked up by Corel'?
Uninstalled it a couple of times and reinstalled it from original Corel CD.

Also dropped hardware acceleration below 1/2. Did'nt help

 

[m33sta]

what i meant was that during the installation of Coral it would have to of refenced the graphics card to see which versions of drivers the card may use ect. therefore if you hadnt of re-installed coral, the coral application would still be trying to work with the old Graphics card, but as you have re-installed Coral it no longer appplies.So the only other things to suggest are, latest directx drivers? try the card in another machine run a beefy game on it to see if it can handle it then install coral on that machine and see waht happens from there you should be able to work out if it is coral, drivers or hardware.If it does work on another machine just try to find the difference between the two machines?

did you uninstall the old video cards software, and drivers?
I think it is msinfo that will give you a good rundown on the computer, try that and see if it lists any other video cards, if my memory is corect it might say they are inactive, but the os still thinks it is there.

Folks,- seven (7) entities share IRQ9:
Microsoft ACPI compliant System
NVidia GeForce FX5200
VIA USB Universal Host Controller
VIA USB Universal Host Controller
Microsoft PCI Adapter MN-130 (network card)
Darla 20 (WDM) (sound card)
Win2000 Promise Ultra 100 IDE

This is not unusual. Please do not start looking at IRQ Steering as the problem. As this is a new video board, my own guess would be an issue with the video RAM or a chipset on the board:

I believe this utility can test that for you:

http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp

You want to run all tests, and run for at least an hour.

If those pass without issue: Start, Run, dxdiag
It may be that you are not current on directX.

 

[oldcal]

Thanks bcastner, I've already run Memtest 86 3.0 successfully.
I'll try dxdiag.

 

[oldcal]

Ran DXdiag ok. Passed all tests.

Thanks all. Followed eVGA's suggestion to try an older driver. Installed 61.76 and the eVGA Nvidia FX5200 coexists nicely with Corel Draw 9!
