I just bought a PNY GeForce2 MX200 32 MB PCI card for my old AP5VM-based system.
The basic specs are as follows:
Mobo: AOpen AP5VM (Supports PCI 2.1, EDO, FPM, and SDRAM)
Processor: AMD K6-233 MHz
RAM: 128 MB 60 ns FPM
The motherboard's BIOS refuses to recognize the GeForce as a display adapter to use and won't even initialize the card's BIOS. But if I plug an old ATI 2 MB PCI card in with the GeForce it'll display off of it and just recognize the GeForce as a VGA adapter using IRQ 9; it doesn't use the GeForce, but the old card. In windows, the GeForce works fine but it throws this weird DirectX error when D3D is initialized: Failure at step 18 (CreateDevice): HRESULT = 0x887602eb (unknown error). I researched that error and people say it had something to do with Netmeeting RDS running, but it checked and it's defintely disabled. I downgraded DirectX 8.1 to 8.0a but that didn't change anything. (I used a tool to remove DirectX then I installed 8.0a) OpenGL and DirectX- Software work fine, though. I've switched through 2 sets of nVidia Detonators which also didn't fix it.
If anybody could help with the motherboard issue or the Direct3D issue, I'd greatly appreciate it.
