Merry Christmas!

Maybe the mods will kill me for this but I'm desperate for an answer and this is a highly-tecnical problem, not your ususal fare. My ASUS V9950 ULTRA TVD won't work with the GART (AGP controller) driver installed. XP PRO SP1, ASUS P4C800-E DELUXE, 550w p/s, 2GB Corsair CMX512-3500C2. When I do a fresh install, instead of installing the " Intel(R) 82875P Processor to AGP Controller 2579" driver, XP installs the (also listed as compatible) "PCI Standard PCI-to-PCI bridge" driver. That works, it boots and runs 3D, but about 40% slower and 3D Mark indicates it's not using AGP (AGP memory = 0). When I install the proper driver, it tries to boot but then goes blank right before the user logon screen before desktop. Everything was working PERFECTLY before I switched cards, my old one was essentially the same...an ASUS V9950 ULTRA TD (no video-in). It's supposed to be the same card except for the video-in. BTW, this new card I just got back from ASUS as I RMA'd my first TVD for the same reason, so I assume that it's been tested and is OK.

In brief:
The electrons in your machine are spinning in the wrong direction causing depolarization of the binary voltages in your machine.
The incorrect spinning of electrons is usually caused by a large source of delta radiation in close proximity to the computer.
The only known source of these low energy photons is a MEBKAC.
If the cpu is exposed to the MEBKAC for prolonged periods of time, the system may be damaged irrepairably.

**My own profesional opinion but IANANE.**


Glossary of terms:
IANANE: I am not a NASA Engineer.
MEBKAC: Moron exists between keyboard and chair.

Oh, I see...so in essence you're saying that suitable addressing methods for polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) displays are dependent upon both the type of display and the PDLC properties. Videodisplays require fast frame rates, high resolution, and gray scale. The addressing method depends upon PDLC properties such as threshold voltage, operating voltages, response times, resistivity, and hysteresis effects. the properties of PDLC films which are formed by ultraviolet (UV) polymerization of LC/monomer solutions depend upon their formation conditions. The threshold and operating voltages, contrast ratio and response times are affected by formation factors including the UV intensity, temperature, LC concentration, LC composition, field pre- alignment conditions, cell thickness, and droplet shape. The PDLC resistivity and hysteresis properties are more difficult to control, and can strongly affect the light throughput, response times, and gray scale of videodisplays. Apparent limitations from these properties can be overcome by utilizing pulse mode addressing factors pertinent for active matrix and photoactivated light valve PDLC displays.

Very good.

Now I must show you the realization that having an impressive vocabluary of technical knowledge does not define you as being either intelligent or sophisticated.
Cheers

And when you repost your question in another forum, try using paragraphs so it is actually readable .

Not that problem again. I think it must be addressed in every thread in this forum. Perhaps you could read some other threads. You would definitely learn that YOU ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE!
