| 55788 | 2002-06-21 05:36:00 | I have just got a new computer with windows xp and a Geforce 2 MX 400 and i installed Midtown Madness 1. The graphics are all distorted and weird. Can someone help me here? Could you please tell me what the latest drivers for my graphics card are and where i can download them if you think that will help. Any other suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance |

Also this from GTA3 Windows XP + nVIDIA based cards (possibly other brands): We have found a possible problem with Windows XP that manifests itself as graphical problems both in the game menu and also during game play. We have traced this problem to be a Windows XP problem. Technically this problem is solved by the use of a newer version of d3d8.dll than is shipped on CD with Windows XP. (The version on the Windows XP CD that has problems is 5.1.26000.0 – versions tested without error include 5.1.2600.15 and 5.1.2600.29) Currently the only way we know to update this dll file is to install the Windows XP Patch: “The Computer Cannot Enter Standby or Hibernate If a Direct3D-Based Screen Saver Is Running (Q306676)” downloadable from the following Web Site: download.microsoft.com This update may in the future be available as part of an official Windows XP Service Pack, a Windows XP Compatibility Update, or possibly a DirectX 8.1 update. |
