Adjustments to any in-game settings have no effect

[Josh7289]

Well, basically, every game I play looks really bad, and changing the in-game settings does nothing. This includes BF2, Oblivion, etc. No 3D game I've played has escaped this. At first, I thought it might be my Nvidia video card drivers conflicting with my ATI motherboard drivers, but I uninstalled the motherboard drivers and left them at Windows default, with no change. I've used Nvidia's latest official WinXP 32-bit driver, their latest official beta driver, and currently I'm using some WinXP 32-bit drivers that were leaked somewhere - they're 1xx.xx something...Not one of the 9x.xx versions.

If anyone has any idea what's going on or if you need more information, please reply. My system specs are in the link in my sig.

what drivers are you using? specific versions etc

what video card are you using? what mobo?

maybe its your display?

 

[Josh7289]

I already said to follow the link in my signature for all of that.

I'm not sure exactly which drivers I'm using, though -- I don't know how to check.

well 2 out of 3 are still valid.

need to post as much detailed information as possible.

 

[Josh7289]

There's no way it's my display, because it...it just isn't. It's not something related to that. Games always stay on their default settings (except for resolution, which I can change).

Again, follow the link below for my system specs.

So his CPU is preventing him from changing graphic detail settings in-game?
