Nvidia Video Card Bios Upgrade
Aug 1, 2005
Not sure if this is the right group for this question - so apologies if anyone feels aggrieved.I have been told that it might be a good idea to update my nvidia geforce2 mx/mx400 bios (not driver) as it is 3 years old. I'm a bitconfused because the bios doesn't seem to be available on the nvidiasite but I have to get it from my motherboard site, Jetway. Am I goingnuts here? Can anyone reassure me of the best way of updating the biosin this video card?

I have an XP pro computer. I have a Nvidia video card and a SB audigy 2Zsound card. What I hear coming over speakers is great, but when I talk on the mic my sound is extremely low (even though everything is turned up as high as possible and whoever is listening to me on mic hears a noise every 15 minutes or so. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Computer is only a month and a half old

I bought the game Call of Duty 2 for my son for X-mas and when he tries to play it he gets an error msg that states "Video Card or Driver doesn't support dynamic textures." I now realize that he needs a new video card but I certainly don't want to spend $500 for it for him to be able to play PC games with good graphics. Can someone suggest a lower end video card update (that is compatible with my computer) that I can buy that will enable him to play this game? I don't know a lot about computers but here is the information that I know about this computer:Compaq Presario 5000 Desktop with Windows XP Home Edition Pentium III processor 512MB RAM 847 MHz (I didn't realize this was so little) Intel(r) 82810e DC-133 Systems and Graphics Controller.

The USB ports on my friend's laptop (HP Pavilion DV6000 running XP Home) randomly stopped working about a week ago. He hasn't made any changes to the system in some time. When you plug in a USB device, it gets power, but the computer doesn't recognize it. Here's what I've tried so far:Uninstalled all USB drivers from the device manager Unchecked the "allow computer to turn off this device" option under power management Installed newest version of the nVidia cihpsetMade sure that USB is enabled in the BIOS Tried a registry fix found here http://forums.techguy.org/hardware/6...p-working.htmlUnfortunately, nothing has worked. What worries me is that I also tried using an Ubuntu live cd, and no USB devices were recognized there either. I'm thinking that this might be a hardware problem which can't be fixedI declare this problem unfixable?

My system worked fine until I loaded a recommended windows update for my NVIDIA Winfast GeForce 3 TDH card. It loaded a driver that wasn't compatible with my widescreen LCD monitor. I reloaded what I thought was the NVIDIA driver 93.71 forceware for XP and things work better, but... I'm getting an annoying flash anytime I right click on a video file icon OR when I go open the NVIDIA control panel OR when I go into the video advanced settings on my desktop. Those are the only times I get the flash. It's not really a flash but more like my monitor is out of vertical phase. It's rapid and brief. Not a critical problem but I would like to find a fix. I've tried every refresh rate and setting with in the NVIDIA controls but I can't get rid of it. if I didn't know it didn't do this previously, I'd ignore or replace my card. I do not have the original driver for this card because I bought it used without it. Perhaps someone could suggest a better driver?

I just flashed/upgraded my BIOS for my motherboard, and now XP doesn't even boot up.
After the BIOS load, I get a "MBR error 2" message and it just stays there.
My board is an Asus P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe. I used the Asus Update Utility to flash my BIOS.

I have ibm thinkpad R51 2887 nq2 series .My system has been crashed as it is not starting.The whole system gets hang after showing the first ibm screen. The bios utility setup is not getting opened through access ibm button . In safe mode it shows that system BIOS and video BIOS is not working and it has been shadowed.sometimes the system gets started ,but after one minute ,it stucks and the whole system paused and nothing happens.It may be the virus attack on BIOS and it also changes the time and date configuration of BIOS. so what should i do .And how i can install BIOS driver to the system.

Recently I was playing a game, when my screen froze. I then shut my computer down to restart it, used it a few times (in 4-bit safe mode), then after I shutdown again, I cant log back in... it just freezes and the screen flashes, I cannot boot into my computer setup (default f2) or into safe mode (default f8), however I can run the XP cd and get into the recovery console, is there any way that I can change the boot sequence from the recovery console? The screen is dotted with a bunch of dots up and down the screen in columns, and is in 4-bit video mode.
I have a Dell xps gen 5 with xp home.
the error I get is:
"Error: Cant enter setup. Video Mode 103 not supported by this video card."

I hooked up my Xbox to my PC to play online using my monitor, only to find out that my NVidia Geforce4 Ti 4200 can only display a max resolution of 720x480 through my capture software, and this ain't good enough for me. Does somebody know of any specific card/adapter TV Tuner that has an S Video input and could give me resolution over 1024 pixels under $100.

I was working away on my desktop tonight, and suddenly the monitor started freaking out. Here is a video to show you what's going on at startup, When it happened I was working in Cubase. I'd just reset the audio driver, and it started doing like in the video. After a little bit, the signal cuts out completely. It's not the monitor, I've checked with a spare and it's the same. I don't have another video card around at the moment, but I'm wondering if it's likely to be an issue with the hardware, or software/virus type stuff.The computer is XP, 2gb ram, nVidia Geforce card (sorry, can't recall which one) etc. Incidentally the card itself looks fine, ie it doesn't look like it's shorted or anything.

A DFI NForce3 motherboard. He went to the DFI site and downloaded the bios upgrade using the winflash software. The system then started running memtest86+ It went through a dozen passes -- no errors -- and now he can't get it to stop. He's tried pushing escape but its turning the test back on. He's tried the other tabs on memtest86+ I can't remember the names and memtest86+ restarts but he can't get back to Windows. How can he turn the darn thing off I'm not computer literate, but I did a little checking and I came across something that said to take memtest86+ out of the floppy drive or reset the boot order. His memtest86+ is not on a floppy or cd and he can't get the bios to come up to reset a boot order

I have a ASUS motherboard P5RD1-VM .O.S. Windows XP SP3 ./ Nvidia 8800GT 512MB / Intel P. D 3.00 GHz / 1.50 GB of RAM. Last year I try to Install 2GB of ram sticks but my motherboard didn't recognize the 2GB, so I upgrade to 1002 Bios driver, It show the right amount of Mem. but the performance of the computer was pretty bad.So I flash back to my Original Bios 0903 and Installed just 1.5 GB. the Bios recognize the right amount Well after some time I decide to download and try the Beta driver 1104 with this BIOS version the performance of my system is half and half.The Internet browsing IE, Firefox, Opera and MSN works all right no slowdonws.The download of app. are ok no slow downs.The Winamp app. for music and WMP11 are ok no slowdowns.The VLC , Quick Time and Divx for watching videos and my editing app. for videoclips some hick ups Photoshop is showing traces of slowdowns, loading screens.

I recently updated BIOS on a Compaq Presario 5330US running XP Home SP2. Now when I play DRM protected content with WMP 11, I get a message that states "Windows Media Player cannot play the protected content file because a security upgrade is required. Do you want to download the security upgrade?" I click on "YES," and get another pop-up message. This message says "The file or device that you are trying to use requires a component of Windows Media Player to be upgraded; click Upgrade to download and install the required component." I do, but nothing happens.
I went to the Microsoft site and read a document at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa387015.aspx, which seems to describe the situation. It appears that my WMP 11 is not "Individualized" through Microsoft's Individualization Service.
I found another document at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925705/en-us, which sends you to a Microsoft web site at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp titled Security Component Upgrade. There is an "Update" button there, but it is grayed out and not selectable.
Ive tried rolling back to WMP10 and reinstalling WMP11 (twice), I even reinstalled Explorer 7, but neither action corrected the problem.
Non-DRM protected content appears to run unaffected on WMP 11, and everything else seems to work OK, but I am very frustrated that megabytes worth of previously downloaded content is not available to me, nor am I able to run new content from the same sites. Also, I have another HP computer that has a BIOS upgrade available, but I am understandably worried about attempting this.

I have Windows XP OS installed on my HP Pavilion 753n Desktop. I currently have 512MB SDRAM loaded, and want to upgrade with another 512MB. Is it necessary to update my BIOS settings (current BIOS on computer is dated 11 September 2002) prior to upgrading the memory?

When first booting the system it gets to a windows screen and reboots - ad infinitum. When booted in "safe mode" it reads several files (in DOS - I think) and stops on reading a path on the "C" drive ending with something like ...../AGP 440 or ..../AGP 44? (or something smilar).
Do you think it is looking for graphics drivers?I have gone into the BIOS set up to change from a PCI graphics card to the on-board, and there appears to be no PCI card.

I purchased a new pc recently and the operating system, XP Pro, needed Service Pack 2 installed. The install was uneventful and the pc seemed to have accepted the new service pack without any issues. However, ever since the installation, I have noticed a "flickering" round the edges of the screen and the screen's attempt to almost expand and contract around the same edge area.(FYI...I upgraded the os on another pc at the same time and the same effects around the edges of the screen are occurring). I went to Microsoft's SP2 database to try to determine whether or not this was a known problem, but I couldnt find anything mentioned about the flickering or shrinkage/expansion.I am also wondering whether or not there is some assocation to this problem and the mouse function?

Is there a way I can run iTunes, for instance? I know you can simply install iTunes 4.7.1, then maybe someone can tell me how to turn the .dmg file that the zip releases into an iso that's actually readable by my dvr drive?
a way to use my video card under x64 -- going a step further, the remote that came with it?

I wass just wondering if someone could tell me if I am on the right track or not Power supply went out on the computer Put in a new powersupply and everything comes back on except the monitor.The monitor lite is green at first and then turns to amber and nothing comes on.I tried another monitor and it does the same thing so I am guessing it is the video card.I would not think it would be the cord to the monitor cause that means the other monitor cord would also be bad and the odds are good that that would not be the case So am I on the right track that it would be the video card not getting from the tower to the monitor?It is a built in video card so I would have to get a PCI Video card cause there is no AGP slot.

I was wondering if any one knew how to help or could shed some light on my monitors problems.It randomly started becoming very wavy and almost blurry and i can barely read what is on the screen, the entire screen is wavy. We bought a new monitor but it did the same thing so we returned it. I'm wondering what could be the problem with my computer.

Currently I have only 16 colors and 800x600 desktop area. NT is using the "Default Monitor" and I did not boot in VGA mode. My video card is AccelGraphics Venus DGX4 Rev 2.1A . I tried to find a driver and what I did find was for Win98. I tried that and it started asking for files - vbrun300.dll and I could find that, then it asked for threed.vbx - is this going to work even if I get all the required files? Is there a NT driver for this video card?
