Graphic Problem
« on: August 05, 2006, 03:44:22 am »
Now to me this doesn't make sense, but then again I'm not computer smart so alot of things donm't make sense.  My computer can run fine on EQ 2 without this problem but when I load game up the game suddenly freezes and the music repeats then 2 seconds later I glag into a spot that I should have ran to.  I use a Nvidia GeForce FX 5200  and 2 GB of Ram.  It evem happens in Character select screen.  I did read the stickes and had no Idea what they mean. I am geting a new Alienware ALX in feb but for now I have teh dell. Can you please help sorry if it's been posted before   :oops: :-[

Hiya! My first suggestion to you would be to make sure that you have the latest drivers for your graphics card. Head over to nvidia.com and check the Drivers section. It's a free download

You have the graphics card I have, so it's a bit easier :} I don't email when it comes to tech support though - it's either forum posts or PMs, and I prefer the former.

Here's the process:

  • Go to Nvidia's driver page.
  • In the box below "Start Here" choose Graphics Driver, then GeForce and TNT, then your operating system, and click Go.
  • Download the driver, but save it instead of installing immediately. Remember where you save the file!
  • Right-click on My Computer, and click on Properties.
  • Click on the Hardware tab, then on the Device Manager button.
  • In the window that pops up, expand the "Display Adapters" selection.
  • Right-click on your graphics card, and select Properties.
  • In the next window, click on the Driver tab, and choose uninstall.
  • After the uninstallation you will have to restart your computer.
  • After the restart, open the driver install file you downloaded, and run it.
  • All should be well.
