GeForce 4 & NR2002 screen problem

Just installed a Gainward GeForce 4 4600. After a few laps, I get some horizontal lines (hard to describe, but here's a screenshot link) http://members.fortunecity.com/nsrlpro/BG%20Screen.jpg and then shortly thereafter I get a screen freeze. Happens in both D3D and OpenGL I am using the 27.42 drivers. Have tried 27.50, 27.52 & 27.70, and they all cause a screen lock up prior to the menu screen. Other sims such as GPL, Rally Trophy and F1-2001, are working fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Specs: CPU: AMD 1800 XP RAM: 256 mb DDR Video: Gainward GeF4 4600 (27.42 drivers) Sound: TB Santa Cruz Monitor: Hitachi Elite 751 Hard drive: 30 gig Maxtor TIA, Bob Geddes

Bob, I don't have an answer for you, but I've been having problems also. My problem is when I exit the game, the screen goes completely garbled, and I have to reboot. I've noticed that it only happens when I use OpenGL. I'm using VisionTek GF4 4600 with 27.42 drivers. I wish I had an answer for you, because we're in the same boat so I know the feeling.

Thanks. At least I know I'm not alone :-) Can you get drivers other than the 27.42's to work? I get a total screen lockup right after the Papy splash screen. Have to completely reboot.

I am having the same probs with my new system i just got. Specs:Alienware CPU:2000xp Ram:512dde video:gf4 4600ti sound:sblive PS:340 watt I don't know if could be PS or not gf4 is a power hungry card with a min of 300w. But under any extreme graphics condition i.e.(3dmark)or werewolf demo (nvidia) and comanche 4 windows xp locks up, reboots, and then tells me the geforce 4 has been the reason for the crash. I am pretty pissed off since the system is 1 week old and i dropped a lot of money on it. Please tell me if any one out there has a res for the prob. P.S. i tried the updated nvidia drivers and the nforce (mobo) drivers for my sys Many Thanks To all Dave

Try turning down the video hardware acceleration a couple notches, and make sure you go to the Creative site and download the latest sound drivers, too. -- Chris H.
