Hi:
Thanks for the tips. I'm sure SP3 is in there, but will check.
I got the drivers from Nvidia, but it was hard to locate for this particular card, which apparently was made by Jaton.
I will check out the machine later, and thanks again.
Try running dxdiag and see if acceleration is turned on and will also tell you other information that you can post. You may want to re-install directX, I think the last version for XP was 9.0c and was included in SP3 (I assume you have SP3 installed?)
If not, right-click on desktop and select PROPERTIES, then SETTINGS, and then ADVANCED and click TROUBLESHOOT tab. In there ensure hardware acceleration slider is pushed to right to enable full acceleration.
When you downloaded the drivers, did you get them from the Nvidia site? They should be easy to find even if the card is old.
Hope some of the above helps in some way.

I don't use Open GL.
Go into the Library folder and find the file DebugGraphicsAdapter.txt.
When you engage Preview --- I write a LOT of information about what I find about your Graphic card and DirectX implementation.
THAT information can help greatly in figuring out what is going on.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for that Joe, I didn't know that bit of information.
FYI, here is the information when running under Wine.

By the way .... don't ask me what they all mean ... I don't know.
I grabbed the data with the understanding that if an issue came up ... like yours .... comparing the data and finding a difference --- then investigating that difference --- may lead to an understanding.

Not knowing what parameters are important a simple glance does not show anything yelling out. I was worried about the 4 failed device checks but yours has them as well.
Oh well.
I quickly looked at vertex point data.
Your max point size is 64 where mine is 8192.
Don't know --- but that might equate in bigger points being drawn.
Joe
John:
Go to the HLS site.
Download John_MacTest.zip and try it.
I changed the point size from 10 to 2.
Let's see how that affects your display.
Let me know.
Joe
Will do as soon as Survivor is over![]()
