Okay. I made a mistake. I installed the nVidia drivers which previously worked fine and drove my nVidia TNT2 card just fine. Why? Because DVD playback sucked.
They made the machine crash.
So, I uninstalled them, rather hopefully expecting the thing to go back to the microsoft supplied windows TNT2 drivers. But no. They’ve now gone.
So now I have no driver.
I have a huge monitor which will now only do very low refresh rates, or 640×480.
This does not bring me the greatest joy.
The new nVidia driver, now that’s cunning. That won’t install at all, saying that my TNT2 card is a banana on a stick, or something equally unhelpful.
*sigh*
