Geforce 2 MX 64MB - installation problems

[sansoora]

Dear Friends

evertime that I try and install this card to my K6 400, I get an error message saying that there is something wrong with my display settings. I used to have an ATI Rage Pro and a Voodoo 1. I cannot see any drivers for these anywhere on the system, so I don't see the problem. Can anyone help??

Put your ATi card back into the system - goto device manager and "remove" the ATi card
Shut down your machine and restart it with the MX in place - it should then re-detect the MX card.
Hopefully that will cure it
If that does not work start your PC in safe mode (with the MX installed) and see how many items you have under vdo cards?
You want to delete all the non-MX versions - then restart

Cheers my friend. I have just my friends computer together with the new card. It's an Inno3d Tornado Geforce 2 MX 64MB. Does that card make any installation differences? Have you heard of this company beofre, and what do you think??

Yes Inno is popular here in Hong Kong
On the older K6-2 motherboards the AGP slot did not produce enough current for the nVidia TNT cards a few years ago - hopefully that is not your problem!

Go to add/remove programs and make sure you can't see any of your old video card drivers listed there. If you can see them, remove them.

Dear friends, I have tried doing all of the above but their is still no go! I am not sure which board it is...K6 400 MHZ on an FIC motherboard, but that's all I know. Does anyone know what I could do...format perhaps??

socket7 motherboard always have had stability problems with true agp cards. Thats why most would get v3's witch would run fine.

Maybe you could try installing your V5 card?
It may be the motherboard AGP slot is not supplying enough current?
E-mail FIC to ask if that board supports the MX
