d3d game blinking on riva tnt2/m64

[StanTheMan]

hi,
I still use riva tnt2 m64 for the computer i use in my office. however, everytime i play a direct3d game the screen blinks intermittenly.
i tried forceware driver since official beta 67.03 up to the latest final 71.94 but all of them gave me the blinks.
The one on which i could run the d3d games correctly was on 67.01.
Unfortunately on 67.01 overlay color correction did not work.

is there any way to report bugs to nvidia? or is there any workaround to use the latest driver without blinks?
I thought one of the best marketing hype for nvidia is unified driver architechture.

don't tell me to upgrade bcos they sealed the case with sticker, which i am not allowed to break.

thaks

Sorry, I meant
The one on which i could run the d3d games correctly was on 61.77.
Unfortunately on 61.77 overlay color correction did not work.

I don't know if they even worry about supporting that card anymore. You might have to choose between Overlay support or the blinking. That said, I wonder if the Overlay Support is somehow the reason of the blinking? Just a thought.

I would have thought going back to the latest drivers that work for you would be the best idea.

I think nVidia will have got all the performance out of the m64 some years ago with driver updates.

Also I would imagine that a great many people with hardware that old don't update their drivers anyway.
