Q:When I install the 2x.xx series of drives Windows 9x locks up at the bootup screen. How can I fix it?

A:Make sure your nVIDIA Geforce4 MX graphics card is not sharing an IRQ with any other devices. If you find that it is, try either moving the device into another PCI slot, or reassigning the PCI IRQs in the BIOS. In particular, the first PCI slot is frequently forced to share an IRQ with the AGP slot.

Q:If I set the nVIDIA Geforce4 MX graphics card as the primary card in the BIOS, my secondary PCI video card is not detected. How can I fix it?

A:Check in your C:\CONFIG.SYS file to see if you are loading EMM386.EXE. If you are, remove the line.

Q:Games stutter with my nVIDIA Geforce4 MX graphics card. How can I fix it?

A:1. Go into the System Control Panel, then click on Device Manager, and then find your CD/DVD-ROM drive(s) and hard drive(s). Go into each one, click on Settings and check DMA. This enables UltraDMA.

2.Make sure that Video BIOS shadowing is disabled in your BIOS.

3.Make sure that your graphic card is not sharing any IRQs with another card - the only device that can have the same IRQ is the ‘IRQ Holder for PCI Steering’. If you find that the GeForce2 MX is sharing an IRQ, try moving the card that it is sharing the IRQ with to another slot.

Q:I get flickering textures in Quake 3 Arena and Windows 9x. How can I fix it?

A:Type the following at the console: /r_ext_compiled_vertex_array 0 /vid_restart

Q: I can't get my system to work with AGP8X. It only can work in AGP4X.

A:1. You must enable AGP in 8X mode in BIOS of motherboard.

2.You need to confirm motherboard have support AGP 8X mode.

3.You need to install the motherboard AGP driver.
