7. If you have a VIA chipset, try enabling AGP4XWe have chosen to disable the
AGP sideband transfer because there have been various system instability
problems due to issues in the design of some motherboards.
Q: When I install the 5.xx series of drives Windows 9x locks up at the
bootup screen. How can I fix it?
A: Make sure your MX is not sharing an IRQ with any other devices. If you find that it
is, try either moving the device into another PCI slot, or reassigning the PCI IRQs
in the BIOS. In particular, the first PCI slot is frequently forced to share an IRQ
with the AGP slot.
Q: I have problems with Need for Speed 5. How can I fix them?
A: 1. Try nVIDIA's latest (leaked) reference drivers. In particular 6.18 may help
with speed and instability problems.
2. Make sure that the Direct3D settings in the display control panel are set to
defaults.
3. Try setting your Windows colour depth to 16-bit colour instead of 32-bit.
4. If you get lockups, try the following tips, in the Options/Graphics/Advanced
Settings dialog:
˙ Switch off lens flare
˙ Switch headlights to vertex
Q: If I set the MX as the primary card in the BIOS, my secondary PCI
video card is not detected. How can I fix it?
A: Check in your C:\CONFIG.SYS file to see if you are loading EMM386.EXE. If
you are, remove the line.
Q: Games stutter with my MX. How can I fix it?
A: 1. Go into the System Control Panel, click on Device Manager, and find your
CD/DVD-ROM drive(s) and hard drive(s). Go into each one, click on Settings
and tick DMA. This enables UltraDMA.
2. Make sure that Video BIOS shadowing is disabled in your BIOS.
3. Make sure that your MX card is not sharing any IRQs with another card - the
only device that can have the same IRQ is the 'IRQ Holder for PCI Steer ing'.
If you find that the MX is sharing an IRQ, try moving the card that it is sharing
the IRQ with to another slot.
