display driver problem !

[Onur ILKORUR]

Hi,


I have just bought a Toshiba Stalliete 6100 with nVidia GeForce4 420 go.

I wasn't informed about how to upgrade this product therefore I have
downloaded and installed the latest drivers for nVidia from the official web
page and then installed directx 9 from microsoft. Afther performing those
changes none of the opengl applications and Directx applications are working
properly. When I run dxdiag.exe and perform the spinning cube test the
application hatls before the cube appears and says "You stopped the test by
pressing a key" and I swear that I don't. None of the opengl applicatons are
working and I can not install the previous drivers. The operating system
finds the same drivers over and over again ... You remember Elm Street !? :(

What must I do now ?

Thanks in advance
Onur

Do you have a system restore point with a date prior to those downloads /
updates? Have you tried the Toshiba site to see if they have special
drivers for that AGP card?

Roll the drivers back on your video card. NVidia does not make GO driver
generally available. That chipset is tailored for the laptop environment
which tends to require some rather heavily tailored hardware and drivers.

You're OK with DX9, but the current Toshiba 420GO drivers do not have DX9
API's exposed. No harm in that however.
