Question (Q&A-66):My motherboard is with NVIDIA^® Geforce 7050/6150/6100 chipset. I use the VGA driver 175.19 from NVIDA website under Windows^® XP SP1. After installing the driver, I get 640X480 4bit color under Windows^® XP. But using the driver from your support CD, it has no problem. (7/31/2008)

Answer:We recommend using the driver provided by ASRock. We tested it on our products to make sure it has the best compatibility and stability. If you still want to use the VGA drivers from NVIDIA^® website, please update to Windows^® XP service pack 2. It is able to solve this problem.
