Q: If I set the VGA card as the primary card in the BIOS, my secondary 

PCI video card is not detected. How can I fix it? 

A:

  Check in your C:\CONFIG.SYS file to see if you are loading EMM386.EXE. If 

you are, remove the line. 

   

Q: Games stutter with my card. How can I fix it? 

A:

 

1.  Go into the System Control Panel, click on Device Manager, and find your 

CD/DVD-ROM drive(s) and hard drive(s). Go into each one, click on Settings 
and tick DMA. This enables UltraDMA. 

 

2.  Make sure that Video BIOS shadowing is disabled in your BIOS. 

 

3.  Make sure that your VGA card is not sharing any IRQs with another card - the 

only device that can have the same IRQ is the 

“IRQ Holder for PCI 

Steering”

. If you find that the GeForce4 Ti is sharing an IRQ, try moving the 

card that it is sharing the IRQ with to another slot. 

 

   

Q: I get flickering textures in Quake 3 Arena and Windows 98/98SE. How 

can I fix it? 

A:

  Type the following at the console: 

 

˙

  /r_ext_compiled_vertex_array 0 

 

˙

  /vid_restart 

 

   

Q: How do I change the resolution, color, and refresh-rate on my 

Windows NT system? 

A:

  The procedure is basically the same as above, for the Windows 98SE system. 

Except that you must select 

“Test”

 then 

“OK”

, so that the changes can take 

affect.
