6600gt issues :(

[rbharris]

Well heres the problem, my 6600gt is an AGP card but it is being read as PCI in the device manager. I believe it is the primary cause of my games crashing and being unable to view any types of video files using divx and WMP. I have noticed a small handful of others having similair issued but cant find any information reguarding a fix. Here is what im seeing.

Im using

Nvidia 6600gt 128
Nforce2 MOBO

I reformatted and started from scratch 2 days ago as well

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ill send a cake to whoever can help

Hi and welcome

Read the thread below:

https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic53709.html

it's an issue with the nvidia drivers.

you should see if you can disable some of the avdanced features in options you get as you install the drivers.


My favorite is Cherry madiera lol

I have torn apart that thread, read it several times but to no avail. I am assuming a possible fix is to update my motherboards agp drivers but I havent found any yet.

Mobo AGP drivers are found in a driver package whch updates the dchipset of the mobo. Download the appropriate update package for ur chipset and install it. This will upgrade ur mobo AGP drivers too

tried and no success, im going to to a clean uninstall and revert back to old drivers and try that

Have u tried reverting to an earlier version of the Forceware drivers? That might fix the issues.

You could just insert the disk that came with your Mobo and reinstall original drivers that way, instead of ReInstalling everything.

When you install the Drivers for the Nvidia card or board whichever it may be,
make sure that you do not say yes to things like "Enable SLI".

ssj4legolas, make your own thread, #1 do not bring back old threads, especially if they do not pertain to your question.
