Hi there.
I recently upgraded from my old ATI RAGE 128 to a brand spanking new Geforce2 MX and have so far been pleased with the reults.
But when I came to play my new spinal tap DVD, I found the playback to be all jerky and generally very poor.
On my old ATI RAGE 128 I used the ATI DVD player that came with the card on a disc and it worked fine, and also used it to try the playback on the Geforce. I thought this may have been the prob (that I was using an ATI DVD player), so I gave PCFriendly DVD player a try, but things were even worse...it wouldnt even start, saying I had old out of date drivers and that I should install the ones on the disc, but when i tried it said the previous drivers werent loaded or something similar (?!?!).
I'm currently using the Geforce drivers that came on the disc with the card...I've tried the D3 drivers, but found them to be worse for some of my games (Colin Mcrae 2 wouldnt even run).
I also installed a CD Writer the other day, although I doubt this has anything to do with it, and I know my DVD drive doesnt have standard drivers for it, it just uses the ones in Windows or something (well, thats what it said on the Toshiba website, and it was ok before I upgraded my card).
So can anyone help?! (apart from telling me to upgrade my Geforce drivers :P)
Cheers
