Hi folks,
need your help/advice!!!!
I have been trying to get games to work on my PC for about 2 months now. I have a dual boot system running Win98 & XP Pro.
nVidia 53.03 drivers DirectX 9.0B. Leadtek A310 FX5600 256MB.
in XP, Games like Call of Duty, MOHAA, BF1942, Halo etc load up the start menu but when starting the game I get a black screen. Games line V8 Challenge load up in game to a wireframe game with no shading etc. All these games and others work fine in Win98. I have only just reinstalled WinXP Pro and reinstalled drivers, there is nothing else installed on my system. This problem happened before I upgraded my video card from a GF4 MX 440 to the now GFFX5600.
When I run dxdiag.exe the directx7 D3D test fails to display the X on the cube, however, Directx8 & 9 tests pass.
I have tried going back to older drivers etc, but I I get the same problem, I have adjusted the screen resolution and refresh rates, and played around with the nVidia setting in display properties, but this has not helped any.
Any ideas? Could there be something in the setting I have missed, maybe the Bios? or mobo???
many thanks
