Problems viewing webpages with TI200

I have run into problems viewing some webpages and think
it may be a driver problem.

my pc
abit ic7-g
videocard ti200 Driver 4.0.7.2
win2000pro sp4
IE 6 SP1


on some pages i only see half of what iI know should be
there.

Some items just seem to NOT appear

Other pages are flashing constantly


Anybody able to help ??????

Any help much appreciated

For troubleshooting purposes, see if the problem appears in other browsers
like Opera and Firefox. Both are free and simple, so you don't have to worry
about poisoning your system.

In IE6's Advanced Options, toggle a few options like "enable page
transitions", "automatic image resizing", etc. and see what happens.

dump internet exploder and try another browser www.mozilla.co and get
firefox (free).
update video drivers, the geforce ti200 is long in the tooth, but should
still display web pages perfectly. use drivercleaner to fully remove the old
ones first.
perhaps the missing parts of the pages are embedded objects? get shockwave
and flash from macromedia, and java.

Same problem if I use firefox.

I have the latest versions of Shockwave, Flash, and Java
installed

Any other ideas ?

Thanks for your ideas

Problem also exists in other browser.
I have tried to toggle those options, it did not cure
the problem.

Any other suggestions ???

http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_archive.html for driver archive, i'd
try some around 45.33, unless i'm misunderstanding your card, which im
assuming is a geforce 4 ti200. be sure to uninstall previous drivers before
installing new (maybe older) ones

I have heard of older cards having web page and general GDI rendering
faults. The only way to tell if it's a card overheating, artifacting
(from circuit failure or component failure), or a driver issue it to
start diagnosing by reducing your acceleration level.


In Windows XP, go to Control Panel Display Properties Advanced
Troubleshoot and reduce the Hardware Acceleration slider all the way to
None. Also disable "Write Combining" (it can't hurt at this point).

This slider controls the Windows GDI Acceleration by your video card.
GDI is the drawing method used by most all Windows apps to display
graphics and objects on your screen. Video cards have accelerated this
since the days of the very first NVIDIA cards like the Riva 128, TNT,
and all the 2D accelerators before it.

Try a reboot and see if this helps. If you can display graphics, but
everything is just slow or chunky then you know it's worked and you have
either certain portions of the chip failing or a driver issue.
Otherwise, the card is completely at fault and must be replaced.

Next to diagnose a driver issue, try installing the newest official WHQL
driver (or a relatively recent one, such as 71.84 or above). The NVIDIA
archive of drivers is available on FTP:

ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/

Here's an old driver that I personally used with my TI200 at the time:

ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/71...xp_english.exe

Otherwise, NVIDIA officially supports the TI200 with the newest:

Good luck.
