5500FX Drivers
« on: August 13, 2009, 11:33:08 AM »
What gives?.. every time I try to download the latest drivers for the card, hoping it would resolve my lockup issue, on restart my screen is very garbled.  Any idea why?

Are you uninstalling the old driver and restarting your computer before you install the new driver?

Is this the driver you are trying to install?

My old card was a Geforce 5500FX. I tried the same thing. The newest Nvidia drivers are not compatible with it. The newest nvidia drivers are compatible with 6XXX series cards and newer.

Just as a heads up. I aquired a Geforce 7800 GS card from a friend. It's old but much better than the 5500FX card I had. Heck, the game wouldn't even acknowlege the 5500 card having vid memory to use! I'm not having that problem with the 7800. It works well.
