I need help with NVidia Fx 5500

lol, Nova...I use the Nvidia site...just had to do a little research first. I have updated the post with the drivers from the NV site.

With a card that old though...it's hard to say if it will enable aero. Some of what I have read says that it only supports pixel shader 1.1, and I think aero requires 2.0.

Okay, try installing this but when running the .exe (installation program) try 'troubleshooting compatibility' and set it for Vista SP2

EDIT: Helps if I add the link.

ForceWare Release 95

Same driver I linked.

I used to have an FX 5200...back before I cared what my video card could do...

I take it I am the only one that actually uses the manufactures site?

The version I linked him to is 190.62.

It was linking me to the wrong drivers.. these don't support 5500.. at all.. any of the 5000 models actually.

Nessy...try downloading the drivers that Nova and I linked to. They are made specifically for your card, and may enable you to enable aero. Download them, run them in compatibility mode for Vista, and let us know what happens.

"The NVIDIA Setup Program Could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardwar.Setup will now exit"
