:disgust:
OK, here's my problem: About every second time I shut down my system, WinXP simply "forgets" the installed drivers for my video card and monitor, and tries to replace them with some non-working generic ones.
I have an AMD Athlon XP2000+, MSI KT3 Ultra, GForce 4 Ti4600 and IIyama Vision Master Pro 454 Monitor. Both the Gforce and Monitor driver Files are from the corresponding websites. They are recent and work fine, until WinXP messes them up...
I have enabled "ignore driver signatures" and also turned this into the admin default, but that does not prevent WinXP from shooting them down and rebooting with generic video drivers and plug&play monitor setting. Graphics get all garbled then and the systems crashes each time I try to change video setting back or run a program that uses DirectX.
Each time after I reinstall the newest NVidia detonator drivers and the monitor config file from IIyama the systems works perfectly well for hours (even days if I stubbornly refuse to turn it off 🙂 ), but the same story starts again when I reboot (not on every reboot, though).
Any ideas?
I'm about ready to go back to Win98SE...
