Thumbs down Geforce2 mx400 tv out wont stop scrolling

Yeah my geforce2 card has been acting weird lately.

Problem 1

One problem is that the screen won't stop scrolling when I hook it up to my TV. The picture is fine on my monitor but scrolling on the tv.

Problem 2.

As for gameplay, Some games work fine and gameplay is faster compared to my last video card. But other games just wan't make it past the login screen. For example, Madden 2001, NBA 2000 all work fine, but Need for Speed Porsche unleashed always freezes on the loading screen.

Is there a drivers set that will fix both problems? I'm not sure will driver set I am using now, but which one would work the best on the P3 550 system I have listed below?

mwb, Take a look at http://www.geforcefaq.com/faq.html . It saved me a lot of time and trouble with my GF2.

As for problem 2, download the 28.32 driver from http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=windows2000 .
Completely uninstall the previous driver and install the new one.

A lot of people had trouble with the 27.xx driver, perhaps this is what you have installed. Check going to Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager double click on Display Adapters then NVIDIA GeForce2 then driver to let you know what you have.

Let us know how things go.

HTB

"Didn't work", doesn't supply a whole lot of feedback...What you did in what order and how you did it would solicit more replies.

You don't mention which mainboard you have fitted. This is one of the most important parts of your system, without this nothing else works.

Figure out which mobo you have and download the latest drivers as VIA have just sorted a long running conflict with NVidia in their latest driver release and get back to the forum with hopefully more than two words.

This is a self-help forum where you have to be seen to help yourself before anyone will help you, I usually would give URL's but on you go, matey.
