512mb ram
128mb Nvidiagf4000
winxp home sp2
i dunno what to do i dont want to go back to win98
i can listen to music make music and all that jazz burn cd's but anything to do with my videocard
working freezes my computer
any help ill be glad thank you
Have you updated the Chipset Drivers of your motherboard since installing XP?
Have you gone to the nVidia website to get the Driver for your card that is appropriate for XP?
When I search for Nvidiagf4000, it comes back as a video card for portable hand-held devices, not for a computer. Hmmm.
Will you check your nVidia Card for the exact model number.
You might get that information easily by running a machine/hardware/software inventory with Everest 2.20
Run Everest 2.20
Click on —-> Display - PCI/AGP Video
Post back here with the exact and full name of your Video Card.
There may be known issues we can research.
Or there may be a known best Driver for your type of machine when running an XP upgrade from Win98SE.
I have never updated the chipset drivers and i dont know were to go to get them which i think would be a good idea!
btw im doing the scan will post up card info when i bought i belive it was
geforce4 mx4000
Version EVEREST v2.20.405

For a link to your Motherboard Chipset Drivers
Open Everest 2.20
Click on - Motherboard - Chipset
at the Bottom of the right-hand screen/window, will be a link to your VIA Chipset manufacturer website.
If you moved from Windowws 98 to Windows XP and didn't install the XP Chipset Drivers for your Computer, it is a wonder that you've been able to run any audio or video at all.
Thank you i downloaded and installed those exact drivers but it still does it im gonna do the chipset and repost what happens thank you so much for your time you rock!
Follow the manufacturer's website instructions [exactly] when installing the Chipset Drivers.
When installing the nVidia Video Driver, remember to completely un-install the old Video Driver before attempting to install the new one. (if it won't un-install, nVidia has a special "uninstaller program' that you can download from their website to force the un-installation of the old driver, in order to make a clean installation of the new nVidia Driver)
Since you apparently have just installed the Video Driver, you can go ahead and test how it works.
If it is fine, then leave it.
But in general, the Chipset Drivers should be installed before installing drivers for audio and video devices.
So you might have to un-install and re-install audio and video after the Chipset Driver installation.
Best Regards
seems that they didnt make a chipset bios flash for the winxp
but im not sure, The mobo model is av18s30m and the closest bios flash i found was for 2002. So im not sure if thats the biggest problem.
This computer origanlly had window ME and i downgraded to 98 because of all the bugs winME has, Now that i got xp evertything runs fine except the drivers for video. Whicj i didnt have with win98
I noticed about an hour ago when i uninstalled the Nvidia drivers for the card and restarted, it automatically put on VGAsave drivers which of course are from Win XP.
I can have reesoluions to 32bit 1024x780 no problem,
and the biggest break through of my hypothisis is i tried a video and my computer didnt freeze!! but the problem with that is since my software doesnt recognize that i have a graphics card [since now there are no drivers for it] it wont start up applications that need direct3d like my games
…….this sucks if this mobo is that old and the highest OS so that i dont have any issues with my vid card is win2k.
I would like to hear your 2 cents
also i forgot to add this is what i got when i tried to do the latest bios flash
Hold off on BIOS Flash!!! That isn't what I'm recommending AT ALL.
ChipSet Drivers are strictly to allow the CPU to interface with Devices.
BIOS, on the otherhand, refers to the basic "machine language" that your MotherBoard uses.
It's "fairly risky" to be messing with the BIOS, even though I do have occasion to use and recommend to do so……… I'm not recommending that you do ANYTHING to your BIOS.
Locate your ChipSet Drivers as previously recommended through the link in Everest.
Best Regards
Looks like you will be selecting the "Hyperion 4-in-1 drivers" BUT PLEASE CONFIRM THIS WITH YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND SELECTION AT THE Via website.
"Do not" select the "VIA HyperionPro64 drivers", since it is only suitable for 64-bit processor MotherBoards and I don't think you have one. (Yours is a 32-bit processor BUT CONFIRM WITH YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND SELECTION)
Best Regards
p.s. Again……. Please leave your BIOS alone, at this time.
Is your BIOS/CMOS set to allow PnP PCI devices?
PnP PCI devices refer to Plug and Play Peripheral Devices, which could refer to your nVidia Video Card.
to Boot into CMOS menu, restart your machine and click "Del"
If you make any changes at all, make only "one" change, then Exit and Save Changes.
Write down the change that you made on a piece of paper, for future reference or to change it back.
Locate PnP PCI to be sure it is enabled.
Later we may also want to check to see if "Integrated Video" is selected (in order to disable the Integrated Video part of your Chipset) (to get it out of the way to allow your PnP Video Card)
Allow Windows to complete its boot
Next:
Go To your Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager
Under "Monitor" what driver do you show?
Do you see your Video Card under MultiMedia or in the Sound, Video, and Game Controllers?
Any yellow or red warning signs?
Thanks for the advice, i found out what it was
several settings in the bios i hadnt changed and i disable all onboard chip hardware, like soundcard and netcard,
the main thing was it was looking for pci card instead of my agp
even though it was still running off my AGP i think the computer would get copnfused at were to send the video data so when i would play a video thats were got stuck and froze but now its running faster than ever
thank you for your time you rock!!!
