Asus V8420 v29.4x drivers for WinXP won't work

I have installed WinXP on a partition on my system. Now I need to install the Asus 29.4x Ti4200 drivers. I need those spescial drivers because they contain a special page in the control-panel to adjust OpenGL and DirectX gamma level (not in Nvidias drivers nor in the new Asus drivers). I'll update the drivers files after I install the control-panel stuff (did this on Win98, to make a hybrid with the new Nvidia driver and the Asus enhancements :-) BUT, my WinXP will not work with the standard 29.40 drivers on the CD that came with my V8420 card. System boot with lowest resolution, and only 4 bits color (16 colors), no extra control-panel applets displayed at all for the vide-card. Why doesn't it work? It's for WinXP. Could the Microsoft bundled drivers that are installed by default interfer? The newer Nvidia refernce drivers work, but they don't contain the Asus enhancment (no gamme adjust for OpenGL mode). Does anyone now where I can get other old Asus drivers (I used 29.41 on Win98se, not 29.40)? Or another way to make these old drivers work (I can't really see why neither modes nor contorl-applets are there) Have you tried any drivers from the Asus download page ? http://www.asus.com.tw/support/downl...ngu age=en-us Video card drivers are always such a pain. Try uninstalling them. Or use a driver cleaner (detonator destroyer etc.) If you run out of ideas, guru3d has plenty of stuff archived. If you visit there, use a browser with popup protection enabled. Each of their pages will present one popup: http://download.guru3d.com/detonator/ Good luck, you'll need it. Paul |

Or use a driver cleaner (detonator destroyer etc.) The newer Asus driver doesn't have the gamma correction for OpenGL in the same way as the 29.4xx. Now you have to use some keys while inside the game and adjust on a pop-up display each time. Beside I like the 44.xx series, and Asus only have the latest (6x.xx?) on theit site. What I did on Win98 was installing the 29.4x Asus driver, and then replace the driver files with 44.xx ones from the Nvidia driver (then I got both the gamme OpenGL adjustment AND newest drivers :-) Some of the problem in WinXP is that it has a build in driver for Ti4200, and you can't uninstall that (can't change to "Standard VGA apapter" as in Win98). But still, the 44.xx Nvidia driver works, so why don't the original Asus 29.xx, it is written for XP, but only gives choises of 640x480 in 16 color (and no control panel applets), got to be something wrong. OpenGL and such other function no longer available for current driver. These function or feature normally will be with the apps or games etc that support it. If you are not running any latest game or application require the latest driver, you can still use the old driver. The only benefit for using latest driver for it fixes / patches. CapFusion,... |
