Toshiba Tecra 8000 Video problem


Recommended Posts

I have a Toshiba Tecra 8000 with a NeoMagic MagicMedia 256 AV adaptor in it. I have loaded Direct X 7.0. It only has 2.5 MB of VRAM, but a fast processor, so the frame rate is slow but acceptable. My problem is that this funky pinkish magenta color shows up all over the graphics. This is true in the videos as well as in text. For example, the scenario names in the screen where you choose the scenario are in the color. At the same time, the textures for vehicles and soldiers look very realistic, with nuances of greens and tans, etc.

Somebody please help! I travel a lot with my new job and CM is going to be my life saving companion to eliminate boredom on the road. But it has to run on my notebook.

Unfortunately NeoMagic doesn't provide reference drivers for their video chipsets. There's also a good chance that the drivers I have listed here won't fix your problem either, but it may be worth a try (find out where your current driver is so you can reinstall it just in case something doesn't work).
