on my windows 98se after about a month after installing a game, i noticed weird messagge, something like "out of range". after re-installing all the drivers i could think of-nvidia gforce 2mmx 400 64mb, via chip drivers, direct x 8.1-to no avail. formatted the disc, got windows me with my first drivers, still won't work.i tried re-installing the new drivers-won't work.still fails and can't even use the 3d maze screensaver, 'cuz it says my video card does not support 3d. can anyone please help?

Do a search for direct x buster (I believe that is the name). Take out your Direct X 8.1 and install 8.0a. I have heard that there are more than a few bugs with the 8.1 for some reason. Hope it works for you, ~me~

DirectX Buster

Please note guys, that DirectX Buster must be used whilst in Safe Mode, esp ME. Please post back Doonya if you used it, and let us know how it went. Regards, Col

I will try that, thank you Col, but the problem I thinks lies in this nvidia drivers,'cuz when I rebuilt windows and tried the ME I had direct x 8 , only later I upgraded to 8.1.That is, yesterday.Off to try this one,and I'll get back to you.

Thanks guys, the kid I downloaded the buster thing and reinstalled the direct x 8 but still won't work. Damned thing.

U guys, i tried every driver i could think of, used the buster, reinstalled the direct x. Still failed direct x.when i ran out of ideas, and since i was desperate, i tried to change the resolution.it was 1024x768 to lower.nothing.when i went to 1280x720 everything worked just fine!!!i can not believe this machine. thanks for all the help,doonya.
