Hi
Can anyone come up with a solution to the following problem. I have just installed a new agp BFG 6800GS onto a fresh install of windows xp.
every thing works fine untill I come to install the drivers. I tried the ones supplied on the disk and it keeps saying that there is no hardware to support the drivers. I tried the latest drivers straight from the nvidia site and still the same problem.
In device mangager a video controller(vga compatible) is shown but with a question mark and a yellow exclamation mark by it.
There does not seem to be any problems with the image being displayed just the fact that the card does not seem to be recognised therefore the drivers cannot be installed.
I put my old ati 9700 back in and thats fine.
The rest of my system comprises a p4 2.4 on a p4p800 delux mobo with latest bios (1021). WD raptor HDD (bought at same time), a couple of cd/dvd drives and a tagan 530-u15 power supply. I have checked the voltages on the supply and there all fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks Marc
That worked a treat, a bit miffed that the drivers they supply dont actually work with the card or am i being a bit naive. In the end used the 83.62 drivers.
Thanks again

Andy
