Hi guys, hope you can help me out with this issue... A few months ago i did a Quadro mod for my Geforce2 MX card, and changed the placement of two 10kohm resistors on my graphics card, and Voilá! The card was recognized as a Quadro2 instead of a Geforce2. After i found out that the speed improvement was practically nill, and in some games even negative, I decided to move the resistors back in place again. So I did, but I think my soldering wasnt 100% perfect, so depending on the ambient temperature in the case, tha card was either a GeForce2 or a Quadro2 ;P probably due to shifting conductivity for different temperatures. A few days ago the card started to always identify itself as a 0x0113 device, (Q2MXR), instead of 0x0110 (GF2MX). This had now turned undependent of the case temperature. I suspected that one or more solderings had gotten even worse, and I took out the card and re-soldered the tiny resistors, and made shure there was no unwanted contact anywhere and that there was enough soldering paste to assure good conductivity. The problem now is that Windows 98 correctly identifies the card as a GeForce2MX(i tried un-and reinstalling the drivers), but Windows XP refuses to let go of the beleif that it has a Quadro2 card in it's tummy. The strange thing is that the two operating systems report a different device ID for the same physical card! Windows98 says 0x0110, and XP says 0x0113. I tried to clean out the XP registry manually, and remove all keys which had anything to do with nvidia, quadro, geforce and so forth. I also used another graphics card to boot the system, and removed the enumeration key for the Quadro board, but as soon as I switched the GF-cards back again, XP indentified a Quadro2... Does anyone out there have any idea how to get around this? Do you think my soldering skills are the problem? If so, how come 98 identifies the card correctly? Even in 98 the card used to change ID with the case temp, but not anymore. It's constantly a GF2, as it should. any ideas?

Your right xp hates to let go of anything once you set it up you could try to do a repair setup of xp and see if it would go out and set up the right card
