No text in 3DMark2001!

[steimm]

Hi!
I have WinXP and WinME installed on my computer.
In WinXP 3DMark2001 works fine but in WinME I do not get the "text" in the game-episodes, why? The text I'm referring to is FPS etc.
If I run 3DMark2000 i do not get anything visual in WinME at all.
Why?
Why?

I use the 23.11 drivers in both OS.
The card is a Leadtek Geforce3 Ti200 @ 190/480
DirectX 8.1 in both OS.
Latest (4.37) VIA-drivers installed.
Celeron 850@1209
ASUS P3V4X

Thx!

BTW: is 6300+ (WinXP/3DMark2001) a good score for that setup?

I've actually had this problem before and can only tell you what fixed mine, though I haven't even the slightest clue as to why. I was running my agp aperture setting at 256mb on an IWill KK266-R, I was having the issue you're talking about with the text in 2K1 along with horrible crashing. I couldn't even get 2000 to load up. Changed it to 128mb without messing with anything else (had already tried pretty much all the other options), got the text back in 2K1 and 2K suddenly worked fine. Like I said though, I don't have any idea why this worked, nor do I know if it will help you. Card was a GF3 BTW.

Thank you YBS1!!!!!!

It solved the problem!
Why the heck does it matter to set AGP-aperture from 256 to 128?????

Thx again!
