Hi Is any one of you the same opinion that WinXP makes F*** loads a problems with Graphics cards? I contacted My Graphic card producer and said I was the first to complain. But alone on page 1 of this site there are 4 With a Geforce 2 64 MB having problems running anything decent!!!!

I have a Hercules GTS Pro (64 meg DDR) the XP default drivers worked fine but I wanted to use my TV out function and upgraded to the new Herc drivers and my games started to freeze. Best off with the default drivers that come wih XP untill vendors either come out with new drivers or pull what alot of companies are doing sell a new version (same product) with XP support. I have notcied this with a few companies. Once I purchase the new version I noticed it was the same thing just with XP support. A way to keep software and hardware's revenue comming in. Understandable to a point. But I feel they should support it for a least 6 mos to a year. But when we bought these products XP was not out so they are not obligated to keep making new drivers for new OSes. If they did most poeple would not buy the new products unless they came with a blow job. :)

I had an older BCM 1543(piece of crap btw) motherboard and XP wouldn't recognize anything AGP. It would load the GeForce 256 driver, but would fail with error code 10. Downloaded NVidia drivers, didn't work. Worked fine with PCI video. ALI (chipset) or BCM had no XP AGP drivers. Just win95,98,ME, none worked of course. I had to buy a new Asus motherboard for XP to see my AGP Geforce 256. Long story short, my problem was the motherboard.

I have a Leadtek GForce 2GTS. The generic XP driver worked fine but I went to Nvidia'a home page and downloaded their latest driver and my system works beautifully.
