http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=9226a611-62fe-4f61-aba1-914185249413

Version: 61.77
Release Date: July 27, 2004

Open Issues in Version 61.77
As with every released driver, version 61.77 of the Release 60 driver has open
issues and enhancement requests associated with it. What follows is a list of
issues that are either not fixed or not implemented in this version. Some
problems listed may not have been thoroughly investigated and, in fact, may
not be NVIDIA issues. Others will have workaround solutions.
• The driver does not support PCI Express under the Windows NT 4.0
operating system.
This will be fixed in a future driver release.
• GeForce FX 5200, Windows NT 4.0: Crash in Quake3 ver. 1.32 with
Multiview.
A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release.
• Quadro FX 4000, Windows XP, Lightwave 8.0/7.5: Main grid is
corrupted on startup.
A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release.
• GeForce FX 5950 Ultra, Windows XP: Deus Ex 2 door button shader
disappears.
A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release.
• GeForce 6800: Cannot set refresh rate of 48 Hz for 3840x2400.
A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release.
• Quadro FX 1100, Windows XP, Autodesk Inventor 8: Mipmapping is
broken.
A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release.
• If you perform a clean driver installation (no previous NVIDIA
drivers installed), you must reboot your computer. If you do not
reboot, the predefined application profiles will not be activated and
you may experience application stability problems.
• GeForce2, GeForce4 MX, Windows XP: City of Heroes crashes to the
desktop intermittently.
This is not an NVIDIA bug.
• GeForce FX 5200/5700/5750 Ultra, Windows XP: Shadow effects in
Splinter Cell do not display properly.
This is not an NVIDIA bug.
• Windows XP/2000: Clone mode may be set for the GeForce FX 5600
although only one display is connected.
This setting causes a drop in the performance of 3D applications. The
workaround is to use the NVIDIA control panel to reset the system to
standard mode from clone mode.
• Windows XP, GeForce FX 5950 Ultra: Homeworld2 antialiased
performance is slow.
This is not an NVIDIA bug, but is a known issue with the application. A game
patch 1.1 is available at ftp://ftp.sierra.com/pub/sierra/homeworld2/
updates/homeworld2_update_en_10_11.exe .
• Windows ME: CodeCult benchmark does not run properly.
This is not an NVIDIA bug.
• GeForce FX, Windows ME: Gunmetal Demo intro movie does
not display properly.
This is not an NVIDIA bug.
