i have major graphical problems when trying to run old games in direct3d
(mostly from 1998-1999, though also a few earlier)
i tried many drivers, including some very old,
but could only manage to reduce problems,
not cancel them
for example, with the most compatible driver i could find,
jane's USAF (and mini pro & super pro)
would show MFD content (radar etc.) outside the actual MFD screen
another example:
depending on driver version,
rally championship 2000 (mobil one) would either run at unacceptable speed (15 FPS or less), or at 70 FPS or more but with unresponsive controls
many other games also show major graphical problems (sub culture etc.)
on one PC i use geforce FX 5500 (win9x/ME/xp sp2 FAT32)
on another i have an ATI ASUS 3650 HD (xp sp2 NTFS)
many thanks for you qualified advice
