Both of these problems may be caused by your monitor. Try another monitor and see if it fixes the problem.

The first problem in particular seems to be caused by non-DDC compliancy. You may also experience a pause

when you enter the Output Devices tab in the NVIDIA Control Panel.

This is a known issue with Windows 9x/ME, due to the way in which it accesses memory. Because

Windows 2000 uses the NT style of accessing memory, the problem does not occur. The problem only

turns up with the GeForce because it is one of the first cards to to be 100% true AGP (most other cards

still address memory via the PCI bus because developers can design the cards to be cheaper that way).

Thanks to Anthony McDowell for explaining this problem to me!

You can disable certain features that cause problems with Super Socket 7 motherboards using the

ss7compat1.reg registry file - available here:

If you still get problems, you can disable even more features using the ss7compat2.reg registry file -

available here:

http://www.geforcefaq.com/files/ss7compat2.reg

You can reenable all features again using the ss7compatoff.reg registry file - available here:

http://www.geforcefaq.com/files/ss7compatoff.reg

If these files don't seem to have any effect, you may have to edit them in Notepad and change the 0000 to

0001, or another value. Take a look at the
