I knew I should never have bothered with this thing...
Anyway, no problems when I used it to go from my Geforce FX 5200 to
an ATI Radeon 9600XT.
Now, I was going back to a Geforce FX 5200 until my 6800LE arrives,
but I can't install the drivers and it's pissing me off.
Basically, I went through the whole Uninstall, reboot in safe mode,
run driver cleaner, turn off machine, install new card, boot up.
When I tried installing the drivers, though (latest version from Nvidia's site),
it would start installing fine, but during installation it the screen would go
black a couple times and like the second or third time, I'd get an error:
73.8KHZ/164.4Hz Frequency Out of Range, Try other Resolutions
Well, that's all fine and well, but I can't do any of that with a black screen
and the above error flashing on screen every 10 seconds or so.
So, I reboot. Of course, there's no video drivers installed since it didn't complete,
so I can't change ANYTHING in the resolution or refresh rate tabs.
After a BUNCH of reboots, uninstalls, reinstall in safe mode, frustration,
try reinstall the drivers through the control panel....and there it was.
I tested it a couple times to make sure, but that's what it was.
EVERY time the drivers would get to the "nvwsapps.cfg" is when the screen
would go black (I assume it's testing the available settings) and give me the
"frequency out of range" error.
SO, anyone have any idea what I can do?
By the way, I've tried restoring the files from the Driver Cleaner backsups,
but it didn't help anything (though I didn't do the registry restore).
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:edit:
Oh yeah. Right now I'm stuck at 800x600 on my nice 19" monitor.
This sucks!
