Error in NVDISP.DRV

Ratheous · 2000-11-05T08:45:50

I've been having a problem with the demos I've been getting from NEHE's site. I have a GeForce 2 MX and the latest Detanator drivers, AMD Athlon, WinME (though a friend with a GeForce 256, Det 3 drivers, PIII 600 and Win98 is having the same problems). I compile everything in MSVC++ 6 pro. After running once or twice without problems, I try to run again and before the video mode is even changed I get this, causing me to have to restart the system almost every time: < insert name of program > has caused an illegal operation in NVDISP.DRV Not an exact quote of course but that's basically it. (not at my compter right now so I can't duplicate it). The error is intermittent, so sometimes I can run a dozen times in a row and other times I'll run it once, and it will crash on the next attempt. I haven't tested this extensively with other programs using OpenGL, but every one of the tutorials I compile gives me this error. I've also gotten the error from demos not compiled by me, but other things seem to work. I run UT in OpenGL without problems, Deus EX is OpenGL, no? but if this is a new error that's just started coming up since I've been working in OpenGL I don' know, it's been awhile since I played them. I've tried using drivers downloaded from Hercules (the maker of my card) but that didn't seem to make any diference. Has anyone else had this error and fixed it? Is it something I'm doing wrong in the program? This is driving me insane! Thanks in advance for any help you can give. ____________________________________________________ "Two wrongs do not make a right; it usually takes 3 or more."

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
Never anger a dragon, for you are crunchy and you go well with brie.
