If you have another chipset on your motherboard, you may be able to use the shareware program

TweakBIOS to change the PCI Latency on your soundcard. You can find out more information about this

and download it at the following website:

Under Windows 2000 try altering the hardware acceleration level of your soundcard - you can find the

slider in the Sounds and Multimedia control panel under the Audio tab / Advanced for Sound Playback

and Sound Recording.

Try disabling DMA transfers on all of your drives. You can do this under the System control panel by

opening each drive in turn and disabling DMA under the 'Settings' tab. This will reduce your drive's

performance but may fix the problem.

Q. My TV card has problems with the GeForce. How can I fix them?



Try installing the latest reference drivers. The 5.22+ drivers fix many problems with TV cards and may

make the steps below unnecessary.



The following instructions were provided by Bill Ball from Creative Labs, who got them from NVIDIA:

1. Open the Display properties.

2. Go to Settings, Advanced, GeForce/TNT/TNT2/TNT2Ultra, Additional Properties, Overlay Color

Control.

3. You can make adjustments or just hit the Default button and hit OK.

4. Close the Display properties.

The point of this seemingly useless maneuver is that it creates a registry key that you will need IF

you have not opened the Overlay Color Control sheet before. If you have, then just skip the above

step.

5. Run Regedit and locate this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Display\000#\NVIDIA\DirectDraw

Note: You may have several display entries numbered successively. Usually the last one is the

active one, but if you have several that refer to other graphics cards no longer installed, you may

want to delete them or run any uninstall for those cards. If you have several referring to your

current card and can't figure out which is active, you may want to reboot into Safe Mode, go into

Device Manager and remove ALL display driver entries and reboot to reinstall the drivers once.

6. In the active DirectDraw key create a new DWORD entry called 'VideoBusMasterMode' and give

it a value of 1.

7. Close regedit and reboot

8. Try the TV card application. NVIDIA says this fixes the ATI TV Wonder and they believe it will fix

the Hauppauge and other cards.
