Problems & Suggestions
Problem AGP is disabled. This may cause performance penalty.
Problem Current AGP speed is lower than maximum supported. This may cause performance penalty.

 

Have you installed the latest nforce 2 driver?

http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_udp_winxp_5.10.html

Also post the manufacturer of the board MSI,gigabyte,asus ect or make and model number of the computer dell,HP,ect

 

Hp Pavilion a520n and its asus

 

Did you turn off the OnBoard Graphics in the Bios? Double check the Bios settings to make sure that everything is correct. Make sure Graphics Controller is set for AGP/PCI.

Which Driver should I get for A Hp PAvilion a520n?

 

right click your desktop,click the settings tab and post the name of your video card

 

I take it these are the specs for the add-on card:
AGP Controller
AGP Version 3.00
AGP Status Disabled

Metalist2, it is not a matter of what kind of computer, it is a matter of what type of add-on card is mounted in the device.

Try booting into [SAFE] mode, and uninstall all video drivers for any installed video card, then boot back up and go into the Bios, and double check the video settings (is Onboard disabled, is AGP adaptor port enabled)?

Then boot into normal and see if XP will find the AGP card, it may ask for the CD-Rom for the add-on, but you may not.

 

Also reading through, is there a possibility Ricky, that the card may not be getting enough voltage from the powersupply in the user's computer?

This should be the correct driver for the add-on card: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_81.95.html

Also do the following with the steps I posted before:

How do I disable integrated/onboard graphics so my GeForce PCI card will work?

Answer It is best to disable the onboard video electrically via a jumper or dip switch on your computers motherboard or in its system BIOS. Please refer to your computers user guide or contact your computer manufacturer for instruction on this process.

In the event that your system does not support the above, you may be able to disable the onboard video card in the operating system using the instructions below.

Make sure that the new PCI video card is not installed in your computer.

Windows XP/2000

1. Right-click My Computer and select Properties.
2. Click the Hardware tab, and then click the Device Manager button.
3. Click View, and then Show Hidden Devices.
4. Click the Plus (+) sign next to the Display Adapters category to expand it.
5. Select the onboard graphics controller under Display Adapters and click Disable. Click OK to confirm.
6. Do not restart the computer until the controller is disabled.
7. Turn the computer off.

8. Install your PCI GeForce card and follow the included instructions from the card manufacturer.

 

Sorry brownizs missed the mx 4000

 

I cant remember how to get this thing to boot in safe mode..

 

When that Splash screen for the bios comes up, start hitting the F8 key.

 

Well, i tried the whole safe mode thing, no luck

 

So, I need Chipset drivers i guess.. I dont see any nforce 2 ones there only like 1/1 3 4 etc..

 

voila chipset driver

 

..

 

Hmm, 1/2.. Okay, thanks!

 

I installed the driver.. Then rebooted, then "found new hardware Wizard" poped up onreboot saying found new ASUS whatever, vdrom drive, etc.. Then i rebooted again, and it didn't pop back up.. Still says PCI Slot 1 tho.

So I guess the chipset drivers worked.. But still, when i load up Warhammer dawn of ware, the intro movie and stuff is real blurry.. Maybe something to do with direct x? i got the latest 9.0c

 

And stuff?Alot of intro movies are blurry especially the company logos,these may be more so if you havnt set up your screen refresh rates and resolutions,so check your running the highest resolution your monitor can support and the highest refresh rate 85hz minimum.

If you still think something is off press-prt scr-as the movie in question is running,open paint,paste the image and upload it with your next post,see if someone has experience with this game

 

My screeen Reolution is 1280 by 1024. The Refresh Rate is ate 60 Hertz, I cannot change it.

 

I dont really know how to upload img's. I know its something like <imh=d> or something..

 

undereneath the box you type your post click the manage attachments button,then browse for the file on your computer,then click upload

 

See.

 

ugh.... try this again...

 

lol

 

HEre we go..

 

This is the Intro movie.. I made this img smaller, sorry for the huge one
