Sleight,

You have classic corrupted nVidia driver symptoms... Their drivers are a little funky in that before you install new ones, you MUST completely uninstall the old ones!! (COMPLETELY).

Here's what you need to do:

Goto The Guru of 3D sight and download their "Detonator Destroyer" program. They also have several help files...

<>
Uninstall your nVidia Drivers.
Run Detonator Destroyer.
Reboot
Let your computer find and install generic monitor drivers.
Reboot again.
Install your nVidia Drivers.
Reboot one last time.

I've had all those kewl symptoms with WIN98, & 2K... And it sucked - took about 10 days to figure out where to get the proper info.  I am about 95% sure this will fix your problem.

Cyas Up!

delete config7 from AH dir (setting) restart and click "disable pallete swap" or something like that, when screen comes up... should fix it

I don't know... Why do you have two?  Are you connecting two monitors?

It's supposed to be a 2-monitor computer, but I disabled the second one.

Down to one card & monitor.. did this fix your problem?

I'd say get one working 100%, then try the other...

Please provide more information.  What are your machine details besides the video card?  What OS are you running?  What nVidia driver version are you using?  What DX version?

It refers to your basic VGA drivers... All computers have it.  XP automatically selects the most appropriate so these steps don't work very well with XP.  I am not sure about Win2K, but anything earlier should go step for step..
