Hi
I have just encountered a problem with my display after installing my integrated XP Home with SP2 and would like to help in trying to identify what's going on please.
Ok, I am running XP Home with SP2 and my display card is the NVIDIA based INNOVISION Inno3D GeForce FX5200 AGP card. Prior to installing the integrated XP/SP2 cd, I had previously updated XP with the SP2 network install file of around 266MB. The install went fine and I had no problems with my computer and in particular, my display.
I then formatted and installed my successfully SP2 integrated copy of XP Home without any problems. The installed display driver was from Microsoft and, at this point, I always go into the display properties to check the driver etc and still had no problems. Then, as usual, I always install the latest display driver from the manufacturer. Upon rebooting back to the desktop, my screen went 'black' a couple of times whilst loading up any programs that were needed and the NVIDIA icon appeared in the SYSTRAY. (this never happened after installing SP2 separately).
Also, when I right-click the icon. my display goes 'black' and once in the display properties, if I choose 'advanced', the screen again goes 'black', and then when I choose the GeForce tab, it again goes 'black'.
I have also tried diferent refresh refresh rates for my Philips LCD monitor but this did no good.
I've rolled back the driver which did no good, I also reinstalled XP which was a waste of time. I'm afraid this is driving me nuts, especially when I've been using the card for around the best part of a year without problems and this has just started since installing the integrated XP Home version.
All of the above happen everytime I do them. Apart from chucking my display card out of the window, has anyone got any ideas on what is going on?
Regards
