ok so in windows xp my system is fine..except i never did fix the problem that i cant figure out there where the net cuts out after about 10 minutes...

but anyway, in windows 7 (same computer, its dual booted) my display was fine, but now wont go up past 1024x768...its supposed to be at 1680x1050...big difference...im in the process of downloading a new driver but hwo could it work one night then the next day be messed up?

i used this one. i have the 32 bit windows 7 installed.

still my resolution was 1680x1050
now my only options are 1024x768 and 800x600...and i have a acer AL2216w widescreen monitor 22 inch.

edit. everything works in xp though so it has to be something that happened in windows 7...since it worked last night but today it decided to do this

i should also note that my monitor just went black and after pushing keyboard buttons, moving the mouse, etc. it said no signal....

also my monitor the last few days has been turning black while my computer is on and running and then coming back to normal...

it only does this in windows 7 that i have witnessed.

Since your card is old, maybe you would be better off with the original drivers that came windows 7. Have you try to roll back the driver using Device Manager. I think the original drivers did not have PhysX as part of the drivers.

The only thing I can think of right now is to go into Control Panel / Programs and Features and uninstall all of your video drivers and reboot the computer. See what drivers windows 7 puts back in after the reboot. If it still does not work ,try reinstalling the drivers yourself.
