GForce 2 and NForce 2 not playing nice

[PuterDoctor]

I got an ASUS a7n8x motherboard and ASUS v7700(gforce 2) video card that dosen't want to work together.It works fine in my other system(non nforce).I am running Windows ME and was getting crashes in wingrv or something like that at bootup.Now I am getting a crash every boot in vmcpd(01) with a BSoD.
I have tried both the ASUS v7700 drivers and the Nvidia detonator drivers with this same result.
Any suggestions?

Make certain 8x AGP support is turned off in the bios, turn fast writes off too, and enable video ram caching and see if it helps any.

I have AGP 8x on and only have an AGP 4x card, haven't tried doing anything particularly graphical and straining yet...can it have a negative effect then? or is this only with certain configs?

I'm guessing only certain configs myself. I've found those bios settings will let me get around problems between ATI cards in NF2 boards so I thought I'd offer it up to see if it will work for someone with an Nvidia card. Of course since the system runs ME it's hard to rule that out 😛

Thanks for the replies
agp 8x is off ram cached and fast writes off.Same problem,I am wondering if it is just this card with this motherboard.
If anyone else has a setup similar to mine and has got this to work please let me know

Well a searched showed VMCPD.VXD is the file containing the Virtual Math Co Processor driver. The VMCPD.VXD file will be installed under several conditions. Video cards, printer drivers, or other software may install and make calls to VMCPD.VXD. Was the A7N8X a new build or did you have another vid card with it before? Anywho, I'd do a clean install of ME with a barebones config of CPU, RAM Vid card, install the Nvidia unified chipset drivers, install the detonators, and see if it goes smoothly. If it does then start installing the rest of your hardware 1 at a time and that way if the problem comes back you'll know which device or it's software caused the problem.

it was on a clean install of ME.No other cards were present,I am suspecting that there is an issue between these boards.
