Ok, this happened to me the last time i reformatted. In fact, it happens every time i reformat, and i can never remember how i fix it. Anyway, I just reformatted, and now my game/benchmark performance has dropped significantly. I have 41.09 det drivers (same ones i was using before reformat) and the latest motherboard AGP drivers that work (the newest ones just make the problem worse for me). Here's my system:
Asus A7A266 motherboard
BFG GF4 ti4600
512 mb pc 2100 DDR
XP 1600+
some other stuff
what happens is I run 3dmark 2001SE (I realize its outdated but its all I had and I have 56k and didnt want to spend all day downloading 3dmark2003). I get in the low 6000's for a score, which is extremely low considering when i get it working i usually get around 11,000.
Last time this happened i was tearing out my hair trying to get it to work, just like now, and found the quick fix here on AT, but that was about 6 months ago and the thread appears to be gone. Someone else posted basically the same problem as me, and someone else posted the solution. Best I can remember, it involved creating a new Binary Value somewhere in the registry, naming it something, and setting a specific value for if i remember right, it had something to do with some sort of a driver conflict. I can't seem to find this fix anywhere (here and google...i got nothin else).
if anyone knows this or remembers or anything...please help me out here.
