Odd problem, I can't figure out!

Alright my AGP setting until today was 4X.

In the Bios it is still set at 4X.

BUT:

My card info says it is at 1X and 3DMark2001 seems to back that as my scores are down 500 points!

The only thing I installed today was Powerstrip. I uninstalled it thinking that was the problem, since this seemed to have happened when I installed it an hour ago, but that didn't fix the problem.

Any ideas what happened and why I can't get 4X?

Mine says 2X...but i put mine also on 4X in the bios...how come i can't put mine in 4X in the display properties...??...plz help us both...haha...we have the same card btw...

scooby...do you know why when i go to the msi clock tab and try to clock it more....it always goes back to the normal speed...i pressed the apply button but when i go back to the tab after a while it goes back to the normal speed...

and one more thing...what os are you running...i think my mark is so low is because i'm running win 98...

thx scooby...always bothering you...haha...

I am running Windows '98 also.

My computer also decided to take a dump and would not boot up anymore:(

This started after I installed those 21.85 drivers earlier! Either that or the Pwerstrip program I tried.

My computer would hang at the Win98 splash screen everytime I would boot. I tried to just reinstall windows, but no go. I ended up having to reformat my whole drive and reinstall everything.

Luckily my computer is only a month old so I didn't lose much.

Oh well time to start over from scratch, but what a pain in the ass:(

Oh yeah, also the new format/reinstall didn't help my 1X problem either.

Oops, one good note, the reinstall did fix my problem and I am back to 4X again.

I forgot to go and change it in the bios again;)

I am definately sticking with the 12.90 drivers from now on though!

it says 4X in the MSI information tab in the display properties??...mines still only 2X...hmmmm...and my cd rom still doesn't work...

Have you considered installing win 2000 on your machines ??? =)

some of the older (pre DetXP) drivers always set you to 2x. After that you needed to install the patch. Vias 4in1 driver also needs the AGP driver to be installed in Turbo mode or it will be 2x AGP.
