Just upgraded to XP2000+. Asus A7v8x MB and a 256meg stick of 400mhz Ram.
OS is XP + SP1
Geforce3 Asus V8200 with Nvidia 40.72
Upgrade went surprisingly smoothly except for one niggly thing...whenever i try and open the Geforce3 tab from Display/settings i get an error ......"Run a DLL as an App encountered a problem".
The driver quoted is RunDLL32.exe
This means i cannot change any of the display properties, o/c or anything.
I did try some older drivers but made no diff.
Ideas would be appreciated
Thanks
That sounds like the same problem as 40.41 drivers where you need to install the drivers - uninstall drivers - then re-install drivers and hey presto the tab works..
Yeah, I get the 40.41 drivers to work every time but all the drivers after that do not work and I get the same error as you. However, please remember that these are beta drivers.
Yes i had similar problem with my old system but like Smite said reinstalling solved the problem - but not this time.
The other drivers i tried are the 40.41 which i still have same problems.
The other thing i thought to try was to totally remove the nvidia drivers including registry and start again with even older drivers.
Anyone know where i can get the nvidia removal programme
Goto Device Manager and uninstall the graphics card, tell it not to reboot right away.
In Control Panel, click the Add/Remove Programs thing, and uninstall anything with Nvidia in the title.
Reboot.
Run the 40.72 setup.
Reboot.
It should now work :)
Dont think that will remove registry files though
If you use the control panel tool then it will.
Sorted..
Seems this is a common problem when moving from 30xxxx to 40xxx nvidia there is a fix which worked first time here
