Last optimal driver for Ti4200 128 8x & WIN98SE?

Hi!

I am experiencing some strange (video-card related ?) distortions on my
screen (discolored pixels in 2D, white pizelated lines across screen in 3D)
and some unexpected (video-card related ?) hangs, crashes or
"return-to-desktop"-exits when using 3D (games, screensaver) or massive 2D
operations (Photoshop, capturing, scanning).

Asus V9280/TD 128 MB 8x AGP
MSI MS-6309 V1
Celeron 1 GHz @ 1.13 Ghz
512 MB SDRAM PC-133
2x 40 GB Maxtor IDE

All this happened somewhere between or after:
1) moving from ASUS driver (43.45D) to nVidia driver (43.45)
2) upgrading DirectX from 8.1b to 9.1a
3) upgrading tot latest nVidia driver (45.23)

Before I completely reinstall everything I would like to know if there is a
last known optimal driver for a Ti4200 with WIN98SE because I don't need the
support for WinXP/2000 or the Ti5200-5700.

Please advice!

Greetings, Leo

Before you try a different driver use Safemode/Device Mangler as per,
http://www.geocities.com/sheppola/drivers.html
so that windows can refresh the driver entries.

Thanks Shep!

I bookmarked your pages for future reference...

I already cycle trough - uninstall - reboot - manual deletion off
left-overs (ini, inf, files, folders, reg-entries) - reboot - reinstall -
every time I need to replace or reinstall software or drivers....

I tracked the latest changes with CleanSweep from Norton/Symantec. I also
will use Detonator Destroyer.

No im still on dx8.1 since dx9 offers little improvement for my ti4400.
I have tried it though and made no difference in performance or anything.
After some comp probs i reinstalled os and did not find it usefull at
present to install dx 9.xx

Hi!

I am experiencing some strange (video-card related ?) distortions on my
screen (discolored pixels in 2D, white pizelated lines across screen in
3D)
and some unexpected (video-card related ?) hangs, crashes or
"return-to-desktop"-exits when using 3D (games, screensaver) or massive 2D
operations (Photoshop, capturing, scanning).


I have most these problems with the same card plus small green and red dots
across graphics. Did a diagnostic test and found out that the video RAM is
faulty. The card is under warranty fortunately so back to the dealer it will
go!

What diagnostic test?! Couldn't find any (yet!)...

It's called "BurnInTest" and a demo can be downloaded from

Thanks you!

Found similar WIN-programs and some DOS-boot utils but none of them reported
any problems.
Went to the store today: they will try to replace my card, or when no
similar card is available upgrade me to a newer card ;-)

And they gave me a 'brand new' TNT 64 Pro to overlap 'till the
replacement/upgrade arrives!

I'm a happy man already...
