381526 2005-08-16 02:27:00 I have a game that will only run with 4x.xx or 5x.xx series drivers however, I have a 6600 GT card which requires 6x.xx series or later to be recognised.

Can I install an older driver and say I got a FX 5600 instead of a 6600 GT ?

Will it work ?

Will it work ?Personally I would go for newer drivers rather than older ones. But if you already have the latest from nvidia.com, then I would be bugging the game manufacturers tech support.

381529 2005-08-16 02:53:00 Can I be bold enough to ask what this game is? Somebody here may know if a workaround is available.... Chilling_Silence (9)
381530 2005-08-16 02:58:00 Medieval:Total War. My favorite game of all time.

In the meantime I am playing CIVIII:Conquests

I doubt the drivers are the problem. At least needing an older driver. I have a friend who plays this quite happily with his 6600GT and new Nvidia driver.
It would be madness to swap your nifty 600GT for an FX5200.

381532 2005-08-16 05:11:00 I mean to tell the "driver " I have got a FX 5600, when I still have the 6600 GT. KiwiTT_NZ (233)

No.
And it doesn't work like that anyway - what I said is my friend has 1: a 6600GT 2) A new Nvidia driver and doesn't have a problem with this game - therefore the problem you have been getting is something else. Did you patch it?

381534 2005-08-16 23:42:00 I may do a full re-install again of the game.

Yes it is fully patched.
