GeForce 2 Pro problem

[Ciberputa]

Hi
I have a Leadtek Winfast GeForce 2 Pro 64 DDR and I have a little problm with it. In some games, like SWAT 3, Arcanum, Evil Islands or Sea Dogs and others the screen flashes a bit, the sound is erratic and the cursos leaves a black square behind in the game menu. In the game everithing is ok, but sometimes, the screen flashes a bit during a milisecond. I use the retail drivers from Leadtek, I have tried with the detonator and the things are worse (more flashes, more sound erratic) and I also use DirectX 8.1. The mother board is a QDI Advance 10F and the processor is an Intel PIII1000. I usw Windows 98 and Linux (of course, in Linux I have no problem with the games like Myth II or Unreal Tournament). Do you know what is wrong?

Welcome To The Forums

What are your BIOS settings regarding the AGP card?

[Ciberputa]

It's a file with some bios info. Do you know how to write the complete bios info to a file?. If not Ill have to write manually :-(

Thanks

I know the AGP Driving Control is on AUTO but what is the value? This might sound left field but are you O/Ced, CPU or GPU/MEM?

Try setting agp appature to 64,I have found some boxes just dont work well at 128 for some reason.

AGP control is auto because if I select "manual" I have to key in a HEx Number between 0000 and 00FF. I don't know which are the values the Mainboard is using.
I have disabled the FAST WRITE AGP and the problem continues. The same with AGP Apperture to 64. I think that it must be a "software" problem, but I have reinstalled Windows 98 and formatted 123.232 times more than usual ;-).
In Linux I have not this problem.

Thanks for all.

When on AUTO the value is greyed out but you can usually make it out. Sometime it's set at EA & setting it a step higher to DA can solve some issues but if your unsure about this DO NOT try it out.
