Bad news/good news

  • Bad News: Longhorn doesn't appear to like my video card (or at least the XP drivers), and either automatically reboots or blue screens when rebooting after installing the drivers.
  • Good news: The Last Known Good Configuration setting works, and got me back into Longhorn, with the video card set to use the generic drivers.
  • Even better news: The good performance I was crowing about in my previous post was without any hardware acceleration!
  • Bad news: I suspect my chances of finding Longhorn-compatible drivers for this card are slim to none.
Ah, well. At least the performance is more than acceptable, even if I'm not taking full advantage of the card I bought for this machine. Guess I'll have to boot into Win2K3 to play HALO. :-)
