I reinstalled the old NVidia drivers for my GeForce 2MX (07.24 drivers or something like that), but whenever I start my computer now the screen is totally blank, black, nothing, nada, like as if the PC is turned off. Strange thing is that I can use my hotkeys (shortcuts, whatever), to open a game. I.e. I press Windows button, then P, then F, then I press enter, and Fighter Squadron opens. The game starts fine, suddenly the picture appears, and when I exit the game, the PC is fine and I can see the desktop. I've tried installing new drivers and everything, but this thing eludes me. I need some help here.IP: Logged |

OK, I dunno about your drivers, but mine for the voodoo come usualy in a zip or exe zip, so if yours are the same way then this will help.Make sure you have the drivers in a folder.
Go into settings/control panel/system/Device Manager remove the grachipcs card and reboot When windows restarts it will locate your g/card and install the newest drivers it has within it's system, then hopefully everything should be fine. I said to have the drivers extracted incase it asks for a location to instal the drivers from, you can then point it to the folder and it will put those drivers in, but this shouldn't happen Hope this helps some semmern ~Nat~ IP: Logged |

What happens when you boot in Safe Mode? It sounds like the driver file is corrupt to me. Boot in safe mode, re-install the driver and see what happens. You may have to download a new driver.IP: Logged |

Safe mode does work. Forgot to mention that. I'll try a reinstall and see what happens.IP: Logged |
