surgical Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Greetings: I´m a suffered usuary of trio CMBB/GeForce4 TI 4200/Windows XP; I have proven of everything and also all drivers of Nvidia; even a clean installation of XP without anything but that drivers of Nvidia...... all the cases.. the result is the same one: the graphic textures as trees , land craters, contours, flags, etc....are blinking constantly, appearing and disappearing ; although the program seems to work well in general. I think that my problem with CMBB is due to drivers 4x.xx, if no, I´dont know that can I do....... Consulting these forums, and the usual problems of Nvidia in XP with CMBB; I have proven all the options except to be able to install drivers 30,82 or 30,87......., I´ve understood that is possible to be installed , so that they recognize the GeForce4 editing the file "nv4_disp.inf" but I´ve not found that it is what exactly I must modify..........can you help me? Thanks [ April 09, 2003, 03:44 PM: Message edited by: surgical ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Do you have one of the new, 8x 4200s or an old standard one. If it is the old one, just install the old driver then install the 30.xxs. If it is a new one, I am waiting on someone to send me the hacked infs. WWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil stanbridge Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Hi, I had the same problem. Use 31.00 dets. These worked with my Ti4200. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surgical Posted April 9, 2003 Author Share Posted April 9, 2003 Thanks Phil......I`ll try with the 31.00 and 31.40;if no....the 30.82 or 30.87 are my last driver oportunity for solve my problem ..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surgical Posted April 9, 2003 Author Share Posted April 9, 2003 Well...... I`m approached to the solution; with driver 31.00 it happens just like with 30.xx.....no installs them. With the 31,40 WHQL, the problem has been reduced greatly , although it persists slightly in some terrain contours and mainly , in craters , it has improved enough......... any idea? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desram Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 Hi, maybe I can get some help on this. I apolgize if this has already been addressed. I am running windows xp with a GeForce 4600 Ti. Both the cmbb and cmbo demos ran perfectly fine. Then I installed the new detonator drivers.. I'm not very knowledgable in this area... anyways, after I installed the new drivers, both the demos no longer played fine. The problem is that the framerate drops a huge amount making the demos are unplayable. Any thing I can do other than rolling back my driver?? thanks for any replies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 If you want to play CM real bad, then going back to your previous drivers is probably the only solution at this point. Admittedly this may be a bit of a problem if you play other games that behave better with the newer drivers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 Hi Surgical, what sort of pc are you trying to run the drivers on? I've got a Toshiba laptop and I can only run the Toshiba certified dets on it. The pc I've built myself has no such problem. Have you tried a format and then reinstalled the drivers? It's a bit drastic but sometimes it has to be done. I'm always formatting C: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surgical Posted April 10, 2003 Author Share Posted April 10, 2003 Hi Phil, I´m using a AMD Athlon 700 Mhz on a Epox mainboard with chipset KX-133 and 512 MB RAM PC-133 on XP Pro; the last tests I´ve made them formatting and installing , only , XP and drivers Detonator in order to discard problems with drivers of Via, SBAudigy Player...........I see that the file. inf of the 31,00 has as it names " NVFS.INF " nor " nv4_disp.inf " as he is normal............ is this the problem?............ if I´m not mistaken the 31.00 supports GeForce4 TI-4200 AGP X8.....is correct? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 If it lists the card specifically in the INF file (and the 8X AGP cards are different for NVidia's purposes), then the drivers should work with that video card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surgical Posted April 10, 2003 Author Share Posted April 10, 2003 Hi Schrullenhaft.....there are the references in "NVFS.INF" for 31.00 : %NVidia.Nv28.2% = nv4__novpe, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0281 %NVidia.Nv28GL.1% = nv4_WSApps_novpe, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0288 %NVidia.Nv28GL.2% = nv4_WSApps _novpe, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0289 is this correct for me ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surgical Posted April 10, 2003 Author Share Posted April 10, 2003 and this reference confirm it...... NVidia.Nv28.2 = "NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X".......but i can´t install 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 Have you completely uninstalled your previous drivers and installed your video as 'VGASave' (generic SVGA driver for WinXP) ? You may want to use NVidia Nasty File Remover (Videocard drivers > NVIDIA detonator drivers > nVidia Nasty File Remover) after using the Add/Remove Programs control panel to uninstall your current drivers. Do you get a message stating specifically that the drivers can't detect your card ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Yep. the 31.00's do definitely support the 4200 8x. That's what I'm using now. It must just be a borked install. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surgical Posted April 11, 2003 Author Share Posted April 11, 2003 certainly , Phil ......... is strange; I´ve made sure, before, of the total elimination of previous drivers ( even with a file remover software) but when trying to install them , if I do it from setup , it happens like in the 30.xx ; and if I do it from the Control Panel , updating , it says to me that he is not compatible with XP!!! .......... I don´t understand ; driver is the 31,00 for 2000/XP from Guru3D.com. (both that there is they seem to be the same file) and as it already comments previously , the name of the file inf is " NVFS.INF ". I don´t know what to do, my only possibility is this...... or helps on the hacking of inf of 30.xx. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
