If you previously had another graphics card installed before the GeForce, go to the following registry key using regedit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\OpenGLdrivers
and remove any keys except the RIVATNT key.
Try the following instructions:
Click Start / Run.
Type \"win.ini\" (without quotes) and press OK.
Search for a line that says \"DVA=0\" (without quotes).
Add a semicolon (;) before the DVA (The line should now look like this: \";DVA=0\" (without quotes))
Save and close the file
If you find this causes more problems, just take out the semicolon. The setting refers to Direct Video Access - apart from that very little is known about it, but it should not cause any problems when enabled.
Note that not everyone has this line, and if there is none you\'ll have to try another solution.
If you get a \'GLimp_EndFrame()-SwapBuffers() failed!\' error message under Windows 2000 when starting OpenGL applications, you can either try using the latest reference drivers or use the fix_glimp_error.reg registry file - available here:

Try forcing AGPx1:
Some BIOSes support forcing AGP1X in the BIOS setup.
If you have a VIA chipset motherboard, installing the AGP drivers in \'Normal\' mode instead of \'Turbo\' mode will force AGP1X.
You can use the forceagp1xon.reg registry file to force AGP1X - available here:
http://www.geforcefaq.com/files/forceagp1xon.regIf you want to go back to auto detection of the AGP rate, you can use the forceagp1xoff.reg registry file - available here:
http://www.geforcefaq.com/files/forceagp1xoff.regFinally, you can use PowerStrip, available at
