GTA3 killed my graphics card
Before I tell you how I got into trouble, let me tell you what the trouble is; my graphics card does not work, I have no sound, and no games run! Not only can't I play GTA3, I can't play Counter-strike, or Dungeon Siege! If can't find the answer in 24 hours, don't bother responding, I will have blown my brains out before then!
I installed GTA3 and the graphics were seriously messed up; all text appeared as colored blocks, models were missing textures, etc. I read the readme.txt and it said that this was because I was running GTA3 on a system with Windows XP and an Nvidia Graphics card. They recommended that I download the newest nvidia drivers and a windows patch: "The Computer Cannot Enter Standby or Hibernate
If a Direct3D-Based Screen Saver Is Running (Q306676)", which I did.
I installed both, and TADA! my computer was screwed up! When I ran GTA3 I got the error "You need 12 MB of video memory to run GTA3" (I have 64 MB!), not just GTA3 though, no games work, and no sound. On the GTA3's support site they recommend for this error that I run DXDIAG, and see if I have Internal Ramdac or Intergrated Ramdac. For my Dac Type nothing is showing, my Graphics card ins't even recognized. The site recommended that if this happened, to reinstall my gfx drivers, I did, even tried installing older ones then back, but it didn't change anything! I downloaded Leadtek's (the maker of my card) specific drivers and it said that I didn't even have a Leadtek gfx card! I can not find any other help on how to fix this problem! Please help!
My system consists of;
Leadtek Winfast GeForce 3 (64MB)
Athlon 1.4 266
Asus A7M266
60GB IBM Deckstar HD
Hercules Game Theater XP
350 Watt Enermax Power Supply
Windows XP (the patch I downloaded for GTA3 was the first windows update I have installed, I am currently installing the other windows updates. If I will let you know if this makes any differnce)
