If you don't like the updated drivers, try reinstalling your original graphics card drivers, from the CD that came with your gfx card.

wow u know less thing in comp than i thaught >_<

wut do u mean by: i didnt like the results ? the resolution? the colors?

and dont unninstall drivers, unless u want to install new drivers, cuz without drivers, ur video card cant work :/

 

[EnigmaHer0]

well bofore on esf i could put the screen size in 500 times somethin but now i cant plus i got my comp as a gift it didnt come with a cd

Then your only solution is to search in GOOGLE for your updated graphics card drivers and install them again.

It was foolish to uninstall your gfx drivers, never do that unless you have them as backup.

 

[EnigmaHer0]

well i was lucky i still had the installer as for my update well even though i dont like it i guess ill have to keep it i liked my old one better though unless anyone has advice on how to get it back

ps.how do i put my screen size lower than 640 x 480 i want it in 500x somethin thats mainly the reason why i dont like the new video card

I hope it's your ESF resolution that you're talking about! Go to CONFIGURATION > VIDEO > VIDEO MODES and change your resolution.

And if you're talking about your normal monitor resolution, god help you! Most monitors these days don't go below 640x480 for Windows OS.

 

[EnigmaHer0]

of course im talkin bout esf resolution im not stupid and wat i meant was that i already tried changin it but before i used to put it in below 600 reslution on esf with d3d but now it only goes up to 600

 

[Pink_Fat_buu]

i dont think Direct3D can go lower than 640x480, but if u want to play in 500x300 u still can in openGL

 

[EnigmaHer0]

it doesnt support it for some reason it USED to be able to go below 600 with d3d until u told me to d/l that crap thanks a lot majin buu


does anyone know how i can get d3d to go below 600 in resolution

 

[Pink_Fat_buu]

That "crap" make u video card work alot better than before

and http://forum.esforces.com/showthread.php?threadid=26631 look at the 4th post, U wanted an update :/ i tried to help u

and going under 640x480 is useless, it dont really give more FPS, and play for like 30 min and u gonna get used to it.

 

[EnigmaHer0]

im sorry buu ur right i let my anger get the best of me but theres got to be way and playin below 600 did help my fps

 

[Pink_Fat_buu]

theres one way it MIGHT work, not 100% sure if it gonna work but maybe its gonna work, and me im on winXP and i dunno if theres that on other windows but try, u got nuthin to loose

right click on desktop/ properties/ settings/ advanced/ adapter/ properties/ driver/ roll back driver

try that, if it dont work, ull have to reinstall driver and get used to 640 or try to search for old drivers and i wont search for u this time :/

 

[EnigmaHer0]

no it didnt work please buu help me search please ur my only hope

i understand if u dont want to i acted pretty rudely but i appreciate u tryin to help but i really hope u help me

Man, if you cant run a game well in 640X800 then you just plain old need a new video card... or more ram. Best advice = save up $300 and get a new vid card and some ram.
