I've been playing a few games on my P4 rig, but i'm noticing some graphics issues. In portal all of the shadows are black squares, then in CnC Generals i'm i'm white patches instead of the proper textures.

I'm using latest drivers from nvidia's website, and i'm using TinyXP.

I installed a regular copy of XP Pro and tested the games again with no luck. Also, it's a GT, not a GS, and it's an AGP model.

Well, I ended up getting it working. Google was completely unhelpful with searching for info based on portal or about the card. Finally found the issue in a CnC specific thread. Downgrading to Forceware 81.98 worked. Hope this helps somebody else.
