Hi all, feeling a bit silly as I cannot for the life of me find a driver for this integrated sound chip that 98SE wants to play ball with. Being an intel 845 based chipset you'd think it would be easy to find, but i've tried quite a few different versions now and none of them have wanted to work. …

Following the advice of weidum, I tried the 45.23 drivers again. Last time I tried them was with the TNT2 and the installer told me it couldn't find any nvidia cards. But I tried it again with the fx5200 and what do you know, they installed just fine. And even better Colin McRae rally runs smoothly …

Thanks for the advice guys, i'll try some of these drivers you've suggested. Some of the drivers in the 4x.xx range didn't seem to detect my video card at all, even though they were supposed to support it. But i'll have another go and see. As for the American\European patches, I have tried both of …

After trying many different hardware and software configurations, I have only once managed to get this game to run as I remember it back in the day. I have run out of things to try, so if anybody has any ideas I would very much appreciate hearing them. I've tried both the original disk version and …

Well, I think i worked it out. After checking all the voltages and messing with cards it started working again for a little bit. Turns out the AGP slot just needed a good drowning in contact cleaner. After that, all of my AGP cards now work just fine. Hopefully it stays that way. Thank you for the …

What power supply are you using? How old is it? It's original to the case afaik so pretty old. The power supply in the pentium III system i built is a lot newer and I have had no troubles with it and the cards refuse to work in it either. I'll give it a go with a different one and see if anything …

I don't think an M64 takes much power, so that makes the previous hypothesis seem a lot less likely. But I suppose the card could be faulty and drawing excessive current. If you have a multimeter and are comfortable probing around with it, you could try checking voltages while the board is powered …

Well, I put the PCI card back in and it looks like this second board is totally fried now, after the s3 card displays its info, the board posts but then just shows flashing garbage characters across the screen and goes no further. Looks like i'm going back to my original board.

What motherboards did this happen with? Is this a TNT2 Ultra or a plain TNT2? The Ultras were electrically demanding for their time. Not sure about the plain TNT2. Since it worked for a while and then died, it sounds like it's possible the board was overloaded by the card. I don't know if it's …

I seem to have the worst luck with old video cards... Basically my issues started about a year ago now. My retro gaming PC is a pentium II based system with an earlier style of AGP slot. I had been running a AGP TNT2 in it for some time without any issues, but after sitting for some time the system …
