| 322209 | 2005-02-07 00:51:00 | Hi I have a Geforce4 MX420 and it has worked fine for years and i always had my resolution at 1024 x 786 and at 32bit color. But recently i did windows update and it updated the latest drivers. And now i can't get the resolution higher than 800 x 600 otherwise my PC crashes. Then when i restart my computer i get a message from Windows saying a serious error happened and to send the message this is what Microsoft said " Problem Description An unknown error occurred in NVIDIA Graphics Driver, created by NVIDIA® Corporation. Problem Resolution Microsoft is currently not aware of a specific solution for the problem that you reported. Below is a list of recommendations to take which may help prevent the problem from reoccurring." I don;t understand because if i load windows in safe mode the resolution is at 1024x768 and the color is 32bit. But when loaded in normal mode and resolution changed a blue screen comes up with a lot of text but dissapears too quickly to read. Could someone help me please. Thank you for your time. Mark :( :badpc: |

If you update with the correct drivers from the card makers website all should be fine. I safe mode, the Windows driver is not used and the basic default one is, hence it works better at the moment. |

| 322213 | 2005-02-08 19:49:00 | One thing I have found that has improved my graphics 500%. In settings /advanced/GE Force/FX 5200/performance & quality settings I have changed Application Profiles from "Global" to Doom 3. It's a great improvement. Jack |
