Solve : Video card problems.....? |
|
Answer» WELL i just a got a new video card today (geforce 6600 AGP 8x) and its works fine with games ETC...but when i try to play a video with DivX or Windows Media player my comp freezes and nothing happens....im "prety" sure i have the write drivers and codecs...i dunno what els to do?? (also when i first started my comp up after installing the vid card i got a message saying something like "cannot use card to full performance because you NEED two video cars" ?? thanks.It said that because you don't have SLi and that doesn't really matter, in some cases SLi is WORSE than normal.ok, so as far as drivers etc... you completely uninstalled any old drivers etc first right? once these drivers are gone, make sure your chipset drivers are up-to-date. now INSTALL your most up-to-date vid card drivers. yeah that thing about two vid cards is prolly SLI. SLI is where you computer uses 2 graphics cards as if they were one. it's good stuff as long as you have the power for it and your computer doesn't overheat and what not. anyways. if you can play games divx videos should be no problem. what kind of videos are you watching (video file type) and what codecs do you have?If that is an AGP card disregard anything about SLI. All of the codecs you need are here. See if this helps. http://www.theorica.net/codecs.htmumm i went to the link and there is about 18 download links...whick one do i get?The Codecs 3.0 - 9x/ME/2000/XP (English) 5.850 kbthanks, but still no luck...any other suggestions ?You know it wasn't codecs now. Did you uninstall all of the old drivers before you mounted this new card? What did you use for new drivers? oh nah i forgot to uninistall the old drivers...is it to late now? i used the cd that came with it to install the new drivers.Try it and see, if they are still listed. Otherwise you may be looking at a reinstall.nah i can see the drivers anywhere...can i manualy delete them or something.?If you don't see them in Add and Remove probably not. If it were me , I'd just reformat the thing and start over.yeah i re-installed it now everything works..thaks for your helpGald you are all fixed up and thanks for posting back. |
