Hi everyone :)
the question I have might seem a bit odd for most of you I assume, anyway:
IŽd like to know if someone out there can share some insight if older NVidia drivers (like the 56.xx for instance) and a FX5950Ultra are an option when it comes to project:messiah?
Or better yet: which nvidia-driver is the oldest one you guys successfully use with the most recent messiah-versions?
lengthy explanation ahead:
I seem to have a really strange problem that is apparently related to the combo of graphicsboard and drivers/codecs I am using: video files turn green - not all but in particular quicktime are a 100-percent-candidate...
I am able to play these files in certain players (after lots of experimenting...), as there are VideoLan, RealPlayer, MediaPlayerClassic etc. But editing is still a no-no... everytime I try to scrub inside for instance Premiere or even Windows Movie Maker, the viewport turns green and system starts choking, in some rare cases it causes spontanious reboots... :sad:
the combination seems to be NVidia 5xxx- Graphicsboards (I personally tried FX5950 Ultra and FX5700), recent nvidia-drivers, having installed the Quicktime 7.xx codecs (even uninstalling QT doesnŽt help, once you had them installed it appears) - only solution in regards to QT seems to re-install the system (WinXP Pro SP2, btw...) and grab an older QT-Installer, 6 or 6.5 seem to work...:shrug:
I am still trying to avoid that...
I found some people that had success solving the problem using recent QT-codecs (7.00 and higher) in conjunction with NVidia 48.xx or 56.xx drivers on a FX5xxx. Thus the initial question...
But are these drivers something that anyone on this forum can recommend for messsiah-uses - as we all know messiah is rather picky when it comes to driver/openGL-related things...
And before I try ten or twelve different drivers just to find out they suck, I thought hey why not ask someone... :rolleyes:
Would be really cool if someone can help here :)
