As instructed by SoE, last night I downloaded the latest Gforce drivers.
To cut a long story short - they froze my screen before I got to the EULA screen. I ran DXDIAG and that too then hung up as soon as it got to the third (full screen) test. Did the same on the 3D tests.
I tried uninstalling the old drivers and re-installing the new ones again. No luck.
I'm running (from memory) a Gforce 4200 ti (64mb), with an LG L1710S flat screen monitor and diectx9.0b. (on and AMD Athlon 2000+ 512MB 80GB HD).
Anyway, after a couple of hours I gave up, did a system restore back to the old drivers (dated 7/03) and all was fine (EQ seemed OK too)
Couldn't find a more up to date driver for my monitor.
So has anybody else had similar problems, or any solutions?.
