What card do you have?

Is it AGP or PCI?

If it's PCI then you'll need to get a new card if you don't want the message.

If it's AGP then try looking in your settings for the card and set them higher .

I can't be positive because I don't know what different video cards are made that run on Nvidia drivers..(PCI vs AGP).

To determine if you have a PCI or AGP video card, open the case and look at the card the monitor is connected to. Look at the slot or socket the card plugs into on the motherboard. Is the slot / socket white?..if it is, it is probably PCI. If the slot / socket is brown, and set further back on the motherboard than the rest of the slots about 1 inch...it is probably AGP.

On every MOBO i've seen with an AGP slot it's on the top so when you look at the back of the box you should be able to tell if it's PCI or AGP, assuming you know you have an AGP MOBO.

I'm soooooo slooooooooooooow
