XP Plus Compatibility...

[F3user]

Has anyone had any problems running ALL the xp plus screensavers? I have tried a TNT2 M64 that would run everything except when running the Aquarium the bottom half of screen is not drawn. I have an old blaster banshee that runs aquarium but nothing else. A friends Savage 2000 chip (Viper II) won't run any of them! The reason I'm asking is because I want to make sure that if I get a new card, it will be completely compatible (at least with the plus screensavers). Thanks.

XP Plus pack has known compatibility issues with many modern graphics cards and MS has already released a press statement regarding this. At present XP Plus is known to have compatibility issues with the nVidia TNT1, TNT2, GeForce 2 and 3, the 3dfx Voodoo Banshee and Voodoo 3. And the ATi Rage 128/Rage 128 Pro.
It may have issues with others but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
The issues range from being unable to run certain screensavers, to graphical artifacts, to decreased performance after XP Plus is installed etc.
