I have benn trying to update the drivers to 28.30. I have tried all drivers belown this version but only the WinXP ones work above 4bit colour why??

if 4-bit colour means 16 (which is does - noone refers to it as 4-bit though) then it's simple.
You're running in safe mode. or
you're running in standard vanilla VGA mode.

Update your drivers correctly first and foremost.
If you can't get detonators to work, use the ones that shipped with your card just to get you going.

EDIT: It would appear the latest drivers don't work so good in XP.
I ask you.... why do you NEED the lastest drivers anyway?? If the XP drivers or previous Full-Release Detonator drivers (not betas) work, why change?

 

[cdsonic]

i like to keep but with latest up dates

 

[bluemax]

latest definately does NOT equal greatest.
Stick with drivers that work.

 

[cdsonic]

had no problems with upgrades before. but had to reinstall now they do not work

"latest definately does NOT equal greatest.

I just installed the latest XP detonator drivers from Guru3D and they work just fine. When I installed them, XP gave me a message about having an "unsigned" driver. I was like, "screw you computer, I made you, and I can destroy you..." so I continued with the install. No problems so far (it's been almost 24 hours).
