GUI display problems with SI3D and GeForce3?

[ottscay]

Greetings,

After upgrading my Videocard from my old GeForce2 GTS
(which used to work splendidly with SI3D) to my new GeForce3, I noticed that the GUI is no longer visible. Is this a compatibility/driver issue? And if so, what drivers are recommended (I'm currently working with ver. 21.81), or should I downgrade to my old graphics board? All help is grealty appreciated.

If GeForce3 is not listed, try using the drivers recommended for the GeForce2

EdHarris,

thank you for the reply! I actually just visited your site (looking at it right now), there's a wealth of info here that I never even knew about; quite impressive.

NP, ',)

BTW, I figured out what my problem was. Apparently, if you use a GeForce3, you have to patch it's driver with a patch called "Soft-Quadro". I just had to make sure to leave all of the driver's settings at thier defaults once I installed it after patching, otherwise it'll still crap out.
