Lock Up After Upgrading NVidia Drivers

Mon Aug 04, 2003 2:27 am by hoovsbin

I have a GeForce 4, DirectX 9.0, with Win 98SE on a 2.2 Intel.

If I try to install NVidia drivers more recent than 41.09, I always get a black lock-up screen at the start of FreeLancer loading. I searched the forum, but don't see any matches to this problem. All other program/games run fine with the new drivers.

Does FreeLancer have a re-configure function somewhere; can this be done manually to allow video driver upgrades?

EDIT NOTE: The drivers that I've tried without success are the official NVidia drivers 43.25 and 44.03.

Use only WHQL certified drivers and you should be fine.

Had the same problem, when running plain Dx9.
Microsoft has just released an Update to DX9a, and after installing that, the new (44.03) Nvidia drivers works fine..
