General Windows Problems
If you experience a problem using the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000-based card, the
following causes may apply:
Your application is incompatible with the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000-based card
or OpenGL.
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000 driver software is not correctly installed.
To correct the problem, try the following:
Check your application's certification status to verify its compatibility
with your NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000-based card. Also see Application
Incompatibility.. below.
Reinstall the drivers using the NVIDIA NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000 Resource CD.
Also see Incorrect Installation .. below.
If you are using external displays, shut down your computer and re-check
the cable connections.
Application Incompatibility with NVIDIA Quadro
FX 3000
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000-based card supports the following APIs (application
programming interfaces) on Windows XP:
Direct3D
OpenGL (ICD)
If the software application or game you are running does not support one of
these 3D APIs, it cannot properly detect the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000-based card
and therefore will not utilize the card's features. In this case, check with the
application/game publisher about obtaining a version that will support these 3D
APIs.
