I've managed to run into a brick wall with this and I'm at a loss. Here's what's happening:

When I try and run any 3d application, I get error messages denoting either that I do not have a 3d device installed (I do, that shows up properly in the Device Manager) or say, with 3dMark2k3, that the card doesn't support various different features (such as bilinear filtering, which isn't true).

I've tried uninstalling both the nForce drivers and the display drivers and starting that from scratch, as well as deleting anything nVidia related in the registry to facilitate that starting from scratch, and still the same result.

Has ANYONE had this happen to them, and if so, how did you resolve it?

Side note: This card works perfectly in other systems, and did on this one until it decided to start doing this (I've since tested it on other systems to make sure it's not a card issue).

reinstall windows.. soemthing in the windows registry could have gone bad. Thats what i would do, and thats the only thing i can think of.
