I got the latest alternate drivers that were released on January 31'st of 2002. I love the card, although the driver development could still use some work to be anywhere near the same level that Nvidia gets out of their cards.

My problem is this... I can't run Counterstrike in OpenGL without only getting a 640X480 viewable area. The resolution I select will take. If I make it 1280X960... it's putting that out. Unfortunately, all I can see is 640X480 of that. Not to mention the fact that the only thing I can do when it does this is open the console and type things in. I can't click on any of the VGUI menus... pick a team.... type a message. Nothing works. If I play in D3D.... everything is fine. I get 100 FPS, but D3D just seems kind of choppy to me compared to how flowing it plays in OpenGL. I'm tempted to go back to my GeForce2 Pro/450 Golden Sample if I can't figure out a fix for this since Counterstrike is the primary game I play.

..in a word.

HELP!

Yeah, I've downloaded the fix. I don't get overflows... just crazy OpenGL problems.

I searched all over for any "newer" release of the fix. All are dated like... 9/21/01 or 9/22/01. They're all the same file... and they aren't fixing my problem. :(
