| >640*480 == crash I'm borrowing one of JMke's folders (), and it works fine except it doesn't want to run the screen resolution at anything higher than 640*480. That kinda sucks if you have to program Java. It seems to be a driver issue: as soon as i install a display driver, it crashes at anything above 640*480 (screen turns blank and goes into powersave). When use the standard VGA drivers, it does want to display at higher resolutions, but only for a brief moment. After a few seconds WinXP automaticly dedects the GF2 GTS card and installs standard GF2 GTS winxp drivers (same prob as nvidia reference drivers). Rig: Unknown mini KT133 mobo Duron 900Mhz Hercules GF2 GTS 64Mb WinXP What should I do? Try to install really old dets?

| try to see if I installed anything that forces high refresh rates @high resolutions I don't think so, but you never know. - start in safe mode - remove nvidia drivers & other video drivers - reboot in normal mode did you try that? try older det's if all else fails

I can run in >640*480 for a few seconds, but as soon as WinXP automaticly dedects the vidcard (i can't stop the automatic installation), it installs basic GF2 GTS drivers which have the same problem.

| has something to do with refresh rate I guess, cause you get a black screen, not a crash.. I presume

| Hmmm... I'll leave it as it is. I don't want your rig to end up in my sig.

It must be me. Have you noticed no card left my rig alive? Only one GF1 DDR, but that's only because faked being dead.

| Long shot but ... I have had color-problems with a ctx17" crt monitor. I downloaded -inf files from ctx and installed them (upgrade drivers). Problems were gone.
