    Unhappy Xp Banshee Driver 3dfx

    my XP picture gets large and distorted and the box that appears on the screen says the banshee video driver has problems and needs to close. so i turn off the computer and reboot, and it's fine until the next time. is this the card i have to replace, or can i download a driver, and if so what and where will i find it, and can i get step by step instructions for installing it, if that's what i have to do. it has become more frequent since i had DSL installed. the man at the computer store said i needed a card, and they are about 75.00 to 100.00. i hate to pay that much for repairs on a computer this outdated. can anyone help me? thank you in advance.

    Hi and welcome to D-A-L

    have you tried a system restore to before the problem occurred?

    have you been to the device manager and disabled the driver and rebooted?

    to brain damage:

    thanks for the help, i did a system restore at one time but i don't remember if it was before the problem with banshee. i followed your advise and disabled the video driver today, rebooted the computer and then, enabled the video driver again. is this what i was supposed to do?

    if it crashes again i'll be back for help.

    many thanks, peggy

    when you reboot it should install the drivers.

    any more problems come back
