Help: Problems with Dx8.1 in win2000 (k7s5a, Duron 1.0, G2 GTS-V, 128MB PC100)

[waqasusman]

I downloaded the latest official drivers 28.32 for the Geforce2 GTS-V which worked fine for me in win 2k as well as in win 98.
but when I installed directx 8.1 (for running 3dmark2001SE) the games wouldn't run properly, it shows artifacts in games, though 3dmark runs fine and gives 2400 in win 2k compared to 2800 in win 98. (The dx8.1 doesn't cause any problems in win 98) In NFS5 the road would show up properly but the buildings and the boundaries of the road are just jumbled up pixels.

The problem was more severe with SiS AGP drivers 1.09, when I restored the system and tried dx8.1 again with the latest AGP drivers 1.09f, at least the "road" part of the view became ok.

I have re-downloaded the dx8.1 file, restored the previous version of windows, and re-installed dx8.1 but still the same problem

Where could the problem lie?

I just posted a thread on a problem I have that's similar to yours in the tech support forum. I have a K7S5A and an Ati Radeon and I'm getting "weird graphical glitches"(I don't know how else to put it) during games. I checked and I also have DirectX 8.1. I don't know but maybe there's an issue between the K7S5A and DirectX8.1. I'm pulling at straws here; can you tell?

Well I can't say if it's k7s5a+Dx8.1 that's making the trouble

But hey, in my case it (k7s5a+Dx8.1) worked well in windows 98, it was only causing problems in windows 2000.

Did you find any clue?
