2015: have you tested MP or SP with 2k or XP/Nvidia latest

KurganQ2 · 01-09-2002, 06:42 AM

I have a GeForce 2 Pro 32mb, and i have the latest Nvidia drivers and i can't play for more than 45 min's (tops) without a hard lockup. It's happened with 5 min's before too.

Happens in both XP and 2000.

I have the same card, and had the same problems under XP. Here's what fixed me up:
Use the 23.11 reference drivers.
Goto Display Prop.-Settings-Advanced-Troubleshoot, then disable Enable Write Combining.
Goto to Admin. Tools-Services, find NVIDIA Driver Helper Service, stop it, then disable it under properties.
Hope this helps.

Use 22.80 drivers, 23.11 are buggy and causes crashes.

your fix did not work for me...i crashed within 15 min's of trying it...thanks for trying.

KurganQ2 · 01-11-2002, 07:47 AM

Try reinstalling the latest video drivers as well as DX. It fixed my crashing. I'm using win2k and the drivers 21.85 and it is working fine now.
