nVidia card problem

NForce4-A939, Athlon 4400+, Innoe 3D Geforce n Vidia Graphics Card, iGb RAM

Not sure if this is correctly posted, but it is Xp related. I have two questions:

First: I use two programs a lot: Paint Shop Pro X and IMSI TurboCad Ver 11.0.

These are incompatible with nVidia Universal Drivers ver 8.1. I downloaded and installed older drivers from:- http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_78.01.html this now works fine, (hopefully nVidia will eventually produce a working 8.XX driver). However, I had to uninstal the 8.1 drivers then reinstal the 78.01 drivers.

I now have a number of warnings in Device Manager these are in 'other devices' and are 'other PCI Bridge device', 'PCI Memory controller', and 'SM Bus Controller'.

I have no idea what these mean and how to get rid of them (the computer appears to work OK).

The second question regards the Motherboard which has AC'97 dolby 5.1 surround sound system, I wish to connect this to my existing Creative DTT2200 Desk top Theatre but there doesn't appear to be enough connectors on the computer (DT theatre has green, black and yellow connectors, Computer has green, pink and blue).

Hi folks I found the answer, I put in the disc for the motherboard (not the nVidia driver disc) and right clicked theupdate driver button in device manager etc and the three items installed OK.

Still don'y know how to connect up the sound system though.

Apologises for answering my own question.

Apologize not

We can learn a lot by listening to you talk to yourself

There is an Audio connection diagram on page 9 of the manual here:

Looks like you may be limited to 2 channel (green - green)

Thank you Jephree,

I have 6 channel sound on the card and as you say I can connect green to green (gets the front speakers working.

However, 5.1 sound isn't much use if you can't hear it so I will coninue harrassing the supplier to try and get an answer (small hope).

The box boasts so many coonectors, USB and Firewire by the dozen, SPdif, wireless, etc etc I would have thought something would do the trick, anyway I will try to find some kind of interface that works maybe even through a USB interface.

Thank you
