Title: 2D Problems with V5500
Post by Dirk on 05.02.05 at 01:28:35

Hi!
I have a problem with my v5500 AGP, and only in 2D:

Everytime I'am in a 2D Game (e.g. AOE1) or when I'am in Picutre Publisher 8 there will be some little grafic errors (in the size of the cursor). there will be a little box of old graphic (when i zoomed in, the old size, when i have clicked a box, the old dialog)

It's from beginning, where I have flashed the card to latest BIOS. before I have had the 1.06 and many problems (windows booting in black/white...)

Have anyone a idea, or can me send the latest OFFICIAL Bios of the card, or the ones before?

This Site should be able to supply you with older BIOS Files.

hmm I solved the problem. I have build the voodoo 5 in a Siemens Scenic M Computer. With Siemens BX Mainboard. No problems. the voodoo seems to have problems with both Gigabyte 6BXC/S mainboards.

on the gigabyte 6bxc mainboard I have reinstalled WIndows 98 SE. hadn't helped...

very strange...

No i have NOW really solved. it was the Mouse Coursor. with the "3D" ones, there will the error. With "none" (=the normal white ones) it will be all right...

what a f***ing error...

Can anyboby check this on a other card?
