Hi guys, ok, time to scream..

PLEASE HELP!!!

On the other pc, theres an odd weird ass problem.

One day, little Dan came along and tried to run bf1942 to play a lan game. the pc went 'ding', black screen, and reverted to desktop.
Frustrated, little Dan went to play fs2004 lan. Upon running fs2004, it claimed the 3d hardware wasn't existant and it had to run in software mode. How crap.

So, i tried new drivers for the GF3 Ti200. No such luck, same problems.
Tried all manor of drivers, same problem.
DXDIAG claims that 3d hardware (Direct 3D) cannot be done as hardware is not existant, yet windows fully recognises the damned card.
I tried using things like Nasty-file-remover and Detonator RIP to kill off any trace of the detonators and start from scratch, but again no luck.

Before peeps respond though, I'm not a system newbie: and i have got updated vid card drivers. Tried updating to DX9b too but no luck.
PLEASE!! help me guys. I'm stumped on this one.

Dan.  ???

Aaarrgh umm dear me Shocked

What if little Dan were to uninstall ALL drivers that have anything to do with the card and restart? I tried it before and it worked.

Other than that I'm stumped mate.

Sie sollten Ihre, Treiber zu aktualisieren versuchen.
If you can't understand that then why did you put a german word in your subject?
