OpenGL troubles

I can't solve this one on my own. Can't find anything on the internet, and I'm not getting confirmation email to ask on NVidia's forums. Might as well ask here, hopefully someone (enouwee) knows how to fix it!

I'm running with these specs:
Video: nVidia GeForce 7900GS (XFX - PCI-E Version) Driver Version - 6.14.11.6921
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 5200+ (2.4ghz Dual Core)
Memory: 2x1g Dual Channel 533mhz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M55SLI-S4
OS: Windows XP Pro SP2 32bit

The drivers are most recent and the older drivers had the same exact problem. I have this problem on Neverwinter Nights (Original and expansions, but not NWN2 its direct x) and Tremulous. I don't know of any other OpenGL games that I could test but the symptoms of both were the same.

Everything is blue.

Heres a video of tremulous.


As you can see, this is a severe problem and I've tried all I know. Can't seem to run these games in a window, can't navigate tremulous to the options (And can't read the options if I get there). I can change the resolution and texture size for NWN but even the lowest settings have the same problem.

I don't know what to do. I can't find any solutions on nVidia's website. My friend with the same exact card and drivers does not have this problem.

Did a fresh install of windows on my extra 25gig partition and it works fine (The game). I kind of... messed up my primary partition though.

I uninstalled the display driver through device manager, but now I can't install it again.

The installer crashes when it gets to the nvidia installer. Every other program that uses any type of 3d graphics instantly freezes and uses 0cpu usage.

Uhm. What should I do? Even safe mode does the same thing. And for some reason I can't open system restore (It says restart your computer, which obviously isn't any help).


I'll keep using this partition for now but if anyone has any ideas I'm all ears! I'd rather keep all my installed games working though.


Edit: Solved the issue

It's a long story. One thing after another into catastrophic system failure. Very easy solution, although i was about to reinstall my primary partition.

The solution was: svchost.exe was deleted. This caused just about every service in services.msc to give an error about missing file. Not able to view properties about said service. Etc.

I'm satisfied :)

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
