stop messages because of driver...

[Elmer205]

I just installed a new video card, the I/O magic 32 Mb PCI TNT2, on my system. The driver that I use is the Nvidia Riva TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro. Version 6.3.4.0. The problem is that it does not have a digital signature by Microsoft for some reason I don't understand. I have the Windows 2000 Professional edition, built on Windows NT technology. Now after I installed it, I soon got all of this "stop messages" about drivers or some sort and suggested that I re-install the driver. It also suggested something about disabling the Bios cache or Shadow cache, something like that. So I have no clue. Any explanation or help is greatly appreciated.

For most AGP graphics cards it is a good idea to stop the BIOS from shadowing video memory.

You need to set this in your systems BIOS.

You don't say what your motherboard is, but usually there's a message on startup telling you to press Del, F1, Ctrl+Alt+Esc or something like that to enter setup.

Post details of your motherboard if you need more help with this.

Good Luck!

Its a PCI video card and that message suggests that I should turn the shadowing off, like you said. However, it does not work, even if I turned off the Shadowing cache and Video cache. My motherboad is the Acer Aopen AX59 pro. Any more tips would be helpful.
