   Agp Texture Acceleration Driver For Xp (   
   01 Dec 23 10:26:43   
   
   From: sherrygaleazzi@gmail.com   
      
   If the graphics driver reports all of the video memory is local, the DirectX   
   AGP Texture Acceleration setting shows Not Available. If some or all of the   
   video memory reported is non-local, the AGP Texture Acceleration setting shows   
   Available.   
      
   The latest Intel Graphics Drivers (production versions 14.X or greater) don't   
   report non-local video memory. Instead, all of the video memory is reported as   
   local video memory. Normally, the AGP Texture Acceleration setting shows Not   
   Available on    
   computers using the latest Intel Graphics Drivers because the driver isn't   
   reporting non-local video memory.

   Hi there i haven't been having any troubles with this video card oranything   
   but i need to update the drivers for it and i have lookedeverywhere can   
   someone help me?Im a big fan of ATI and Dell i had the recentdrivers but my   
   hard drive went bad so i had    
   to get a new hard drive andreinstall windows xp home and here are the specs:   
      
   Processor: Pentium  running at 490Mhz   
      
   Video Card: ATI Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2X (A21/2)   
      
   Manufacturer: Dell Latitude Cpx H500GT   
      
   Hard Drive: 30gig Hitachi/IBM travelstar   
      
   RAM: 256MB   
      
   Bios: Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 A07   
      
   Direct x: version 9.0c   
      
   and i love this laptop but its way out of date but its all i have right now so   
   could you help?   
      
   I have a similar laptop spec and a similar problem which maybe u or others can   
   help with. Suddenly it does not let me change resolution, only working on   
   1024x768. Any attempt to change brings a blank screen and I have to power   
   off/on several times to get    
   it running again. I dont know if the driver needs replacing or if its hardware   
   - is the ATI on the system board or a card?   
      
   Well, I am the Original Poster, I made a new account, because I couldn't get   
   into my last one, But most likely, it's a driver issue, and It's most likely   
   an onboard, older laptops did not have PCI card slots.   
      
   Do this:   
   If using Windows XP   
   Click Start   
   Click RUN   
   Type "dxdiag" without quotes   
   then give me all the info on the first page, and the Display tab, then I will   
   get back to you.   
   But in the mean time, I can't do anything else until I have your PC specs.   
      
   Well, one big problem, is that it doesn't give the name of your PC, and that's   
   crucial information because, XP installed the wrong drivers for my laptop.   
   Little did I know, my laptop actually had a ATi Rage Mobillity M1.   
   But it says your PC has Windows 2000 and the drivers where last updated in   
   1999.   
   The last time they updated the old GPUs was in 2001.   
      
   Because those are horrible default drivers that all Windows OS, Set as.   
   Not to mention this laptop is from 2000, and just a secret between us, this   
   laptop is pretty good for playing any games from 96-2000.   
   I still play Half Life, and Counter Strike on it, and they run perfectly.   
      
   The choice between a Radeon 9600 and Ti 4200 should be based on the age of the   
   game software you want to use . If you want to use software from 2002 and   
   before, DirectX 9 brings nothing to the table and a Radeon 9600 might actually   
   be less compatible    
   with you want to play .    
   See this discussion on the subject : Does the Radeon 9xxx series support 8-bit   
   palletized textures?   
      
   "NMAIN caused a general protection fault in module 3DFX16V3.DRV" in a Symantec   
   (Norton) program or: "PowerPoint has caused an error in 3DFX16V3.DRV   
   PowerPoint will now close", or a similar error message with newer XP or Office   
   XP applications when using    
   a Voodoo3 and Win95/98/98SE/ME. Download and install the last available Win9x   
   reference drivers for the Voodoo3: Voodoo3 Win9x/ME v1.07.00 WHQL   
      
      
      
   3dfx has been out of business for a few years now. NVIDIA acquired some of   
   3dfx's technology but does not give technical support any of the 3dfx Voodoo   
   cards. As such, there have been no new official drivers or technical support.   
   However, a number of    
   loyal fans have created drivers for the Voodoo cards, which can be downloaded   
   from 3Dfx section of Falconfly's archive.   
      
   Yes. Say your card only supports DirectX 7 compatible drivers, and you want to   
   install DirectX 9. In this case, every time DirectX wants to communicate with   
   the 3dfx card, via the drivers, it will step down and use DirectX 7   
   interfaces. This has been the    
   case up through DirectX 9 as far as I am aware, but future versions of DirectX   
   may phase out the older interfaces, e.g. DirectX 7, in which case installing   
   the newer version of DirectX with DirectX 7 would not be a good idea.   
      
   This is often due to a buildup of heat inside your system, but it could easily   
   be due to a number of other factors. Check to make sure that you have the   
   latest drivers and if gaming check for specific fixes. Try this first however:   
   after the computer    
   crashes turn it off, open up the case, touch an unpainted metal surface (do   
   this often to discharge electrical energy that could shock and ruin   
   components; on the power supply or case is best), and then turn the power   
   supply off and unplug it. Locate    
   your video card (the monitor plugs into it) and hold your hand over it. If the   
   card is giving off a good deal of heat, and the inside of the case itself is   
   very hot, then something is probably overheating. If you have a    
   otherboard/CPU monitor that    
   reports temperatures to you, make sure they are within the safe operating   
   limits defined in your User's Manual. If you are experiencing heat problems,   
   rearrange things inside your case to maximize airflow. If you have only a   
   heatsink on your card then    
   you may want to add a small fan to it as well. If you have neither a heatsink   
   or a fan on your card then do not use it, because it will overheat and cause   
   damage to the card.   
      
   Make sure that you have the latest original 3dfx drivers, and check for   
   specific fixes in the Game Guide. If these two suggestions do not help then go   
   into the video options and sound options menu in the game and turn all the   
   options to the lowest    
   settings. Next, gradually turn up each of the options in the two menus until   
   your performance starts getting poor again, or until you see graphical errors.   
   Keep the setting off or one setting below the mark that causes problems, and   
   continue with the    
   rest of the options until you find a suitable combination for gaming. If none   
   of this helps, then try some 3rd party drivers for your card and operating   
   system.
