Try using Nvidia's reference drivers for the Geforce instead of
Creative's drivers. I do not like the VIA 4 n 1 drivers. It seems to
not always work, especially with the AGP driver. Plus there IDE driver
actually gives inferior performance to the default MS drivers. (You did
not mention but I will assume wim 98 or 98se). For Win 98 download and
install individially via irq and agp driver. For 98se just the agp
driver. If you use the USB port you may want the USB filter also. If
you installed the via ide driver I would uninstall.....

Before you buy.

Hi,
Thanks for answering my call for help...

I did actually install all of the VIA drivers.  I think I'll leave them all
in place until I sort out the GeForce..

I have tried the reference drivers from Nvidia, but that didn't make any
difference.  I have a feeling it has something to do with the VIA chipset.
As I mentioned it all works fine except when I'm debug inside the Visual
Studio IDE.

Yes I am running on Win98,  If anybody else has come across this problem
could they PLEASE let me know..

Thanks

Wayne Gibson
