800x600 GPL Lockups

A friend of mine has a V2 and when playing in 800x600 it keeps locking up!! We have tried the Banshee patch but have had no luck. We have also tried lots of different drivers but it still won't work. It runs fine in 640x480 Thanks for any advice, Scott

First, if his windows desk top display is 640X480, then when trying to run a Sim/game at a higher res, will lock up the Sim/game. If you are after higher res.'s, make sure your desk top is set to that high res first. Second, Because the V2 is CPU dependent, be sure that the CPU is strong enough to run the V2 at those res.'s. there are other possibilities, but these are the most common solutions. Mike Barlow

Check your clockspeed of the V2 card! Probably it's set to a higher frequency: 95MHz. The safe frequency is 90MHz! Jan.
