Q: If I set the VGA card as the primary card in the BIOS, my secondary
PCI video card is not detected. How can I fix it?
A:
Check in your C:\CONFIG.SYS file to see if you are loading EMM386.EXE. If
you are, remove the line.
Q: Games stutter with my card. How can I fix it?
A:
1. Go into the System Control Panel, click on Device Manager, and find your
CD/DVD-ROM drive(s) and hard drive(s). Go into each one, click on Settings
and tick DMA. This enables UltraDMA.
2. Make sure that Video BIOS shadowing is disabled in your BIOS.
3. Make sure that your VGA card is not sharing any IRQs with another card - the
only device that can have the same IRQ is the
“IRQ Holder for PCI
Steering”
. If you find that the GeForce4 Ti is sharing an IRQ, try moving the
card that it is sharing the IRQ with to another slot.
Q: I get flickering textures in Quake 3 Arena and Windows 98/98SE. How
can I fix it?
A:
Type the following at the console:
˙
/r_ext_compiled_vertex_array 0
˙
/vid_restart
Q: How do I change the resolution, color, and refresh-rate on my
Windows NT system?
A:
The procedure is basically the same as above, for the Windows 98SE system.
Except that you must select
“Test”
then
“OK”
, so that the changes can take
affect.
