This tweak is used prevent windows XP from using mirror Video driver when accesing some program.1.Some program or games like Ghost Recon, use alternate Video driver when it can't recognise the Primary Video card driver.2.Alternate driver lack AGP support and performance. So this tweak will prevent window XP from using this alternate driver whenever it was called for.3.Some bug may appear when using the primary Video driverHere's how to do it:-Run Regedit.-Go to. --> "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM CurrentControlSetControlVideo"-There will be 4 'display device GUID' key.-Expand all 4 key.-Open the 'subkey' labelled "000" -Change any 'DWORD' value labelled "MirrorDriver" from '1' to '0'.-Close regedit, restart.4. My graphic card is soo slow (SiS based graphiccard) so, if my AGP texturing capabilities disabled, my computer will go soo slow.5. I use a program named "POWERSTRIP" to determine my AGP capabilities (and to overclockmy Graphic Card).
you know download site for VGA compatiable video drivers for Win XP Pro? I've been to ATI, ASUS, and even downloads.com but I can't seem. I'm installing on a clean hard drive.
I am having a problem with the Sisgrv display and I need to update my video driver but the problem is for some reason I am having trouble finding out exactly what I need to update. How do I find out what video driver this system uses I know this is a very basic question, but I recently switched computers
I have a new video driver for my monitor but cannot install it. I am running XP Home Edition. I go to settings>advanced>monitor but the properties button is grayed out and I cannot select it.
I am getting an error while trying to install the latest international drivers for my laptop computer Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600) NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5700 [Display adapter] 3.20 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4, 8 kilobyte primary memory cache 512 kilobyte secondary memory cache
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?
I get a little pop-up message you know. install latest windows xp updates so i'm like. OK i'l just get this over and done with. I turn the computer off let windows do it's thing, turn it back on now I'm getting dots on the screen. They look like little droplets and most of the time they're blue. i get to the windows xp log-in screen now this is the "fun" (annoying/main part). WHENEVER I move my mouse cursor over the account tabs the computer just freeze's then the screen goes black, doesn't do anything after that. So I gave my friend a call who's a computer technician, he said that my video card is blown and that I will have to get a new one. My heart just dropped out of my but there for about 5 minutes. I gave my brother a call and he thinks otherwise. He said to do a system restore but this is another "fun" (annoying/main part). I'm trying to do a system restore on the PC (in safe mode) and it doesn't want to seem to work. First of all there are NO bold dates to choose from which is very strange as I applied a Windows XP update shortly before I did this update that screwed the PC up. And nothing came up, and another even f'd up thing is that I can' choose what months to go from. That little arrow that let's go go to previous months and months after? Click that, doesn't do anything. So I gotta wait for my bro to come back from Canberra for the meantime which should be i n around a weeks time or so. But ugh I can't wait that long i'm gonna die of boredom here. So I am begging all.. of you. from the bottom of my heart, is there ANYTHING absolutely ANYTHING I could do to FIX this? I'm so close to throwing this thing out the window Badluck seems to be coming from all sides at me lately and I really can't put up with this.
I recently had to reformat my PC and now I need to reinstall my video card and sound card drivers. The only problem is, I don't have the driver CD anymore. when I try to find out what my video/sound cards are I draw a blank because they don't seem to be displayed anywhere (display properties/settings/advanced/adapter). All adapter type and adapter information are all I know my video card is ATI but that's all I know and as for the sound card - I haven't a clue what make that is. I've been on the ATI website but there are so many drivers I don't know which one to download/install.
Day three and I'm frustrated. I know it's something I am doing. I have Win2K installed. It installed the default VGA monitor. I have the video drivers for Trident Blade 3d/mvp4. This is a onboard video. When I use add new hdw, and add new dev, have disk, I see the options for trident drivers. When I select any of them, Windoze complains it can't find the auto settings and will not install. I am doing wrong, other than using 2K does any one have the drivers for a soundmax
My dell 4700 says it is using a "generic" video driver and I should install the proper one from manufacturer. tried dell driver site, clik download and takes me to a "internet connection failure" screen. internet is fine though. problem started trying to play Sims apt. life and new program for VHS to DVD transfer. both said DirectX 9 was problem- reinstalled that then found "generic" video driver.
HP Pavilion 6870us laptop. As you can research, this computer came with an nVidia GeForce 8400gs graphics card to accompany Windows Vista. (Ick) I don't say that from a very valid standpoint, for I just find XP much lighter and easier to navigate. Like I'm running the computer, not the other way around. Well, I used the Vista installed partitioner to segregate a little chunk of my hard drive so that I could put XP onto the computer as well as Vista. While this was successful, I'm having a miserable time trying to find a driver for this video card. I've tried installing the Vista version, but it starts screaming that I'm retarded and that it's only for Vista (naturally). I know most of the drivers that were used in the Vista format work for XP as well.
I had a .dll file disappear due to the loading of a new video driver. I have googled it and downloaded it, but I don't know where to place it within my windows directory tree in order to solve the problem. I have tried to place it in the windows root directory, the windows/system directory, and the windows/system32 directory, all to no avail. The .dll file is MSVCP71.DLL.Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I was updating a video driver, then restarted my computer. It takes a LONG time to boot up, then flashes an error message on the screen for a second, then restarts. I've tried holding down F8 to startup in safe mode, but it doesn't respond. Also, even when I have the win xp CD in while rebooting to try to repair the OS (yes, the CD drive is the 1st boot device), it won't recognize the CD either. I'm in a heap of trouble without my computer;
I was surfing around and then all of a sudden my wallpaper is a warning box saying that there is spyware detected and I need to install an antivirus or spyware remover to clean up my computer. When I right click the desktop it just has "themes, appearance, and settings" no "desktop" or "screensaver" By the way it's on a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop.
I am trying to upgrade from a Powered By ATI Radeon 9200 SE Gamer video card to a manucfatured by ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon X800 XT 256Mb AGP video card. While trying to uninstall the driver for my old GeCube Radeon 9200 SE card, I get the following error message: It says RUNDLL in the very upper left corner. The error message says, "C:WINDOWSsystem32atiiiiexx.dll,_InfEngUnstallFFile_RunDll@16 -Force_restart-flags:0x2010001 -inf_class:DISPLAY -clean" NOTE: where the smiley is, it should be D My system is a custom-built AMD Athlon 64-bit 3000+ with 1Gb RAM running XP Pro
After I formatted my computer, the sound of my pc lost and our monitor starts to flitter every time i scroll down. I'm thinking that our video card had been erased and need to be install again but I don't know how. I've already look in device manager but its not there.
I have the XP Auto Update feature set to notify me of available updates but not to download or install. After installing the latest driver, the 93.71 version I'm getting the Notification Icon on the task bar telling me an update for the Nvidia Card is available, version 52.16, I guess the basic update that was downloaded as part of the SP3 update.Is there a way to dismiss this update so that it doesn't continue to appear? For some reason the auto update doesn't recognize there is a newer driver available, the WHQL 93.71.

I'm trying to backup information from Quicken 2000 to a CD and am trying to figure out an easier way to do it.
1) Can I setup my CD or CD-RW as an alternate drive? HOW? 2) Can I create a desktop icon that will burn the files I specify? 3) Can I link a icon on the desktop to a ".bat" or something with the command line.
I was recently advised to add and run CCleaner on my system and it appears to be working very well, are there any other small programmes I should think of adding to help my system.
For nearly two months now, my PC freezes during boot up on alternating boots. This is as regular as clockwork, and has not varied, even one time. It freezes at the point where the Windows XP Home logo screen is displayed and always just after the keyboard lights flash (Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock lights). The boot freezes began happening shortly after I replaced my old CRT monitor with a new Acer AL2016W LCD 20-inch monitor.
The Explorer program (%systemdrive%program filesinternet exploreriExplorer.exe) creates the familiar Windows interface, but you can use this setting to specify an alternate interface. If you enable this setting, the system start the interface you specify instead of Explorer.exe.To use this setting, copy your interface program to a network share or to your system drive. Then, enable this setting, and type the name of the interface program, including the file name extension, in the Shell name text box. If the interface program file is not located in a folder specified in the Path environment variable for your system, enter the fully qualified path to the file.If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the setting is ignored and the system displays the Explorer interface.START > RUN > GPEDIT.MSC > USER CONFIGURATION > ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES > SYSTEM > FIND CUSTOM USER INTERFACE > RIGHT CLICK > PROPERTIES > CLICK ENABLE > FIND AN ALTERNATE USER INTERFACE > OK
I recently used system restore in WinXP and now in all of my program directories there are additional folders named Data with a folders name resources in those. In the resources folder are the exe files for the programs and all shortcuts I have for those programs point to these exe files. So when I use one of those shortcuts two instances of the program opens and slows my computer down.
i was following someones guide to remove some viruses, in this proccess i turned off system restore and went into safe mode, but instead of normal safe mode minimal i went into safe mode minimal (alternate shell) which i am now stuck in, i have tried a system restore command which wont work because i'm in safe mode
I've got an NEC LCD2010X monitor, and everytime I download the latest update from MS for either the NVIDA or Matrox Video cards I always find the drivers don't work... why ? Latest case is with the NVIDA update - I can't go beyond 4bit 640x480.
The title says it all! Basically I have a comp running XP pro and I want to be able to work locally on one user account, with some kind of remote access server running on another XP user account so that the remote account and the local account can be used simultaniously. I know that this cannot be done with XP Pro remote desktop and could be by Windows Server 2003 remote desktop, but i need an alternate solution to make this happen.
I would like to use the alternate validation from the Microsoft download page, But I don't see it mentioned anywhere.When I click on Validation button that takes me straight to the Validation page.Alternate Validation anywhere.
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."
