There are similar posts about the clean solution...(which is not exists yet)

Yes, and my bicycle 'eats' 2 donuts / 100 km... I think these cars are a class smaller than the Prius, but maybe I am wrong, I really don't know the Prius size in life.

I think it is a Prius. (skip intro)

Glad to hear this mate . My system is working nicely too with the old drivers. ( to the other problem: try spybot to check if there are some spyware on your pc, those can cause internet drops too )

@mamynast: try some older drivers to your mx400, for example the driver I use should work with your gfx card too... or is there any news in your case?

I use FF too...

Hello mamynast,

Good to hear that.

can't wait.... any good news?

big silence... any news Nick?

Quote from Nick A :

Cheers Moley, I'm not optimistic but I'll give them a go

well, I replied to Micha on that post... but yes, You can use that too

Quote from micha1980de :

so if that was already solved then forgive my bluntness and provide a link to the thread were i can find help...

regards

Hello Micha,

Here is a thread similar to this problem: maybe try what JasonJ wrote, or ask farique [ nice avatar btw... ] about the solution. http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=319337#post319337

Quote from Nick A :

It was a 6600 (not GT) and it didn't freeze, it just hung IIRC. Maybe I will try some old drivers, seems to have worked for you kx_mole. Something is very wierd, I'm thinking about ditching the whole PC and buyng a new one again!

it will definitely solve the problem but first, try a driver change , I will search another driver for you.

or the last from 6x.xx :

hmmm...maybe the 6600GT is the "minimum" (I mean not as old as Nick's FX or my gef4) card that works well with new drivers too. Nick, what was the other card number you tried? Some 6 series card I think. If it was a 6600 too, than forget this comment .

So the necessary ingredients for this freezing cocktail are: Athlon CPU, Award/Phoenix BIOS and/or some older gfx cards than 6600... and (my opinion) a new gfx driver...
Nick have you tried with another old driver?

I am always looking into this thread in the hope of good news . So best wishes .

(( info: the 56.xx driver still working well with my gef4, I will post if there is something wrong with it, but it seems that it was the solution in my case ))

ATI users with this problem, have you tried an older catalist? Because Radeon 9600 or 9550 is about the same "old" card as my gef4, maybe worth a try to install a ~2 years old driver.

ok, waiting for the result :Kick_Can_
gl

:/ maybe You should try with a 6x.xx driver, before going back to 93.71

Quote from Nick A :

I just got a freeze Slightly different to before, it froze for around 20-30 seconds then I got a BSOD. It said the file causing it was nv4_disp. The message said "problem with device/driver". Hmmm. :banghead:

ahh bad news...((
did you use the driver cleaner ? for me it is still ok

nice nose

We happy? Nick! We happy?

My hard testing result:

http://mole.hu/lfs/fzrorr.jpg

but no freeze

"updating you AGP BIOS becuase it is old (2002)." I just ignored the AGP word, sorry

Good luck with the driver

Do You mean the video bios? ( My system bios is 'pretty' fresh, I think the last one for a7n8x, I upgraded it always )

System BIOS Date 09/27/05
Video BIOS Date 05/20/02

info: I played another 2 hours in the night without problem , I will sleep here at work.

Today another 3 hours (off and online too) without freeze... I can suggest to the Geforce 5- users to test the driver I linked... Maybe I am lucky that there are no freezes, but maybe not... Give it a try. (I used driver cleaner before it.)

Quote from Nick A :

I went through my replays of the crashes and I noticed that when online the car dissappears and then reappears after the freeze (appears as a lag). When offline, the car appears to continue in a straight line. It doesn't respond to any wheel input during the freeze. I suspect that the offline replay is filling in for the period where no input was recorded.

I checked it too in the past, I am always holding hard the wheel, because after the lockup, it often kicks, due to a collision . Online I am always dropped from the server during this time. One time I checked the replay (it was a OLFSL race), and yes, my car was a big LAG , and disconnected.
[earlier when I was not knowing that the game will start again, I just pressed reset, because I thought it is real freeze.]

Quote from Dmt :

Radeon 9550

Bad news for me, that could mean that Nick is right and not the gfx drivers are behind of this. ( yes I know that Micha told that He has ATI too )
Maybe ATI and nVidia too made the new drivers not fully compatible with "older" video cards.. Who knows... I am still hoping that the old driver solves the problem...

..aand what video card?

Quote from R.Kolz :

"I really appreciate if anyone here can suggest me a suitable driver"

42.23 is a known good driver for a GF 4200 card. Google for it and give it a try.

Regards...

Thanks. I have installed on saturday a 56.72 driver, and it seems that my problems gone, but I dont want to drink before , so I am still testing it... :X I will post here if it is still ok after a few days... fingers crossed I tested it about 3-4 hours, and no stuttering yet.......

if anyone would like to try, here is the link: http://http.download.nvidia.co ... _winxp2k_english_whql.exe
