Hmm that's odd, I have the same video card and also updated the DirectX 9.0b.
But it still gives the Z-biasing error, maybe I haven't installed DirectX. 9b right?

Frank...the threads indicate you need to update your driver. Even though you have the same video card and DirectX 9, your video card driver can make a difference.

right its not the directx that is out of date its the video drivers. As long as you have DX9 your good there. I run a geforce 2TI card and had the same trouble, went to NVIDA found the drivers for my card, installed them and promptly got HOed in AH2

Cya up !

I see, so I should go to the NVIDA website and update my driver, okay.

But how do I know which one I need?

(sorry for being a n00b, I know nothing about this all...)

nVidia just has one unified driver for geforce cards. It used to be called detonator but now it is called nForce. Go to nvidia.com -> drivers and put in GeForce and your type of windows.

WIN 98- http://www.nvidia.com/object/win9x_41.09.html

Skuzzy has said that the newer drivers don't work as well with the older Gforce 4 cards.

Dave, for AHII, you may need to update to a newer version of the drivers to insure support for DX9.

The 30.82 and 41.09 drivers were done before DX9 became available.

Ahh...I haven't tried AH2 on the Guam box,yet. Any suggestions for best Geforce driver?

The Cat 4.5s seem to work well for my 9800XT. Even the graphics in AH1 are crisper with this driver.

Thanks,
Dave
