OT Help, I need a Nvidia file!

I just installed a brand new GeForce2 GTS video card and I tried 4 times to download the Detonator 3 drivers from Nvidia, but each time I got a CRC error for nvOpenGL.dll. Could someone who has the Detonator 3 drivers please send me this file: nvOpenGL.dll please send it to: [email hidden] I SURE would appreciate it! Wow, even with the drivers on the installation CD the framerate increase from the 32 MB GeForce2 GTS is astonishing! Of course (I'm embarassed to admit I was still using a 8MB Thriller 3D) but I went from an unplayable 18 FPS in in-car view with all details turned to minimum to 40 FPS with most details turned up. I'm just amazed at the difference $176 made!!! There is a very large framerate difference between D3D and OpenGL. I don't really notice much in the way of difference between the two as far as graphics, and I'm not having ANY flickering or other problems with the video. The video card is a Leadtek WinFast. CPU is Celeron 300A@450Mhz. SoundBlaster Live! Value. 128Meg ram. Ordered card yesterday at 1:30pm from www.sg3d.com, received it today at 11:00am. It's a good place to buy from. Bad news is I forgot to change GPL to D3D before I installed the GeForce, now GPL won't run. Guess I'll have to re-install the Thriller and fix GPL. Bummer. Oh well, its worth the trouble, I'm REALLY happy with the GeForce. Please someone, send me that file. Thanks. -Tony-

On the GPL front you don;t need to swap cards around. First make sure you have the D3D patch files installed. Next make sure that your core.ini file has the following info in it: [ Int Profile Values ] value3 = Direct3D7:D3DDevice:0 value4 = Direct3D7:TossHighestMip:0 value5 = Direct3D7:TrilinearFiltering:0 value6 = Direct3D7:DoubleMirrorResWidth:0 value7 = Direct3D7:DoubleMirrorResHeight:0 value8 = Direct3D7:DirectMirrorRendering:0 value9 = Direct3D7:DisableZBuffer:0 [ Direct3D7 ] D3DDevice = 0 TossHighestMip = 0 TrilinearFiltering = 1 DoubleMirrorResWidth = 0 DoubleMirrorResHeight = 0 DirectMirrorRendering = 1 DisableZBuffer = 0 Finally, edit the file app.ini and edit the [ Graphics ] entry so that it reads: [ Graphics ] lastRasterizerDLL = rastd3d7.dll ; Last rasterizer DLL selected This tells GPL to use the D3D rasteriser. Hope this helps. Phil -- F1 GPL Handicap: -0.01 secs F2 GPL Handicap: +115.79 secs

Thanks Phil for the info. And never mind about the .DLL file, I've got it now, thanks. -Tony- Phil Lee wrote in message ...
