Hey all. I have a graphics card I could do with some help with.
We have a second system comprising: AS Rock K78SX, Athlon 2100+, 512 Mb RAM. We had an old S3 graphics card installed, and I decided when I came across an Inno3D Tornado GeForce 2 MX-400 AGP 64 Mb card going for a few quid, and brand new, that it would do quite nicely as a minor improvement. Hmmm...
BIOS was switched from PCI to AGP, S3 removed, and GeForce installed. Booted up the system to see hordes of very colourful ampersands and Ds...... so I thought: "ok, drivers should sort this out". But having tried all types of drivers from both Inno and nVidia, nothing helps. When I get into Windoze, I have a screen full of varying coloured vertical stripes. I can get into BIOS but it isn't readable because it consists of @s and Ds.
I have probably done or not done something very simple, but I would be immensely grateful for any guidance anyone might have.
