Problem with games and screen saver

I am having a problem with Direct 3d, I have to set PCI texture memory size to 40 megs to play games otherwise I get a half black screen, when I do this none of my 3d screen savers work. I lower the amount of megs below 40 and the screen saver works but the game doesn't. I know it is direct 3d but I can't figure out how to fix the problem. Any Ideas? I am running dirext x 9 on Xp sp1, with Nvidia drvers 41.09.

Thanks B.
 
need to now more info on your your setup,but have you tried different drvs for your vid card?
 
Started with older drivers updated to newer ones, and still no change.

i think he means info like..
Vid card + MB ram on it
RAM
maybe even type of screen saver n so on
 
post your specs,as stircrazy suggested,then maybe we can help you get it sorted out.
 
Well it is a verto M64 tnt 32 mb video card, I know cheap one but its for my six year olds games, and they don't require much. I have 256 mb ram on the computer. Hope this helps.

i'm not sure about that particular card ,but have you tried contacting the card maker? perhaps your monitor is at fault,still too many unknowns to be of any help.
 
Sounds like a faulty vid card prob there. Good luck. :blink:
 
No I don't think it is the video card other games work fine. When you set the ram up above 40 it disables Direst 3d. So what I have figured out is that there is a problem with the game and direct 3d, I will have to contact the game manufacturer about the game and see how to fix it.

Thanks for everyones help

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
