I have an older Dell 500mz pentium which I upgraded from
Windows NT4.0sp6 to XP pro. The upgrade went well with one
exception. A standard boot results in a unitelligible
video display. I have a NVIDIA RIVA TNT 16m card . I can
start up with an F8 key hold down, to get to Safe Mode
page and choose "Enable VGA Mode", and the everything
seems to work well. (I understand from reading Microsofts
article 315222 that the current video driver is loaded,
not Vga.sys.) Anyway, I tried several common strategies,
such as, 1) unloading the driver to let XP reload it. 2)
Downloading/loading update drivers from Nvidia 3)
Reviewing CMOS settings to see if there were possible
changes to my start up that would help. Dell's tech
support recommneded all of the above (again) to no avail.
Any suggestions?
