I am still having problems getting my new computer running correctly. I have narrowed it down to an AGP or driver problem. Please refer to my other post in the list to understand my overall problem. http://www.opentechsupport.net/foru...=&threadid=4608 .I have found out some new things that are listed below. You wont really understand this post unless you have read the other one. Thanks.
When I install the nVidia drivers I dont have the special nVidia tabs like "device selection", "direct3d", "opengl" and so on. On the desktop I right-click then do "properties", click the "settings" tab, then click on "advanced" and it doest have the nVidia logo there. My Geforce 2 GTS has an s-video out, so there "should" be a device selection tab along with other ones that come when you install the nvidia drivers. So are the drivers not installing right? Am I installing the drivers incorrectly. I uninstall old drivers first, then I install the nVidia drivers. The nvidia drivers must be installed somewhat because I can raise the resolution and have "true color" which Windows default drivers do not offer, but there are few tabs to choose from and there are no "opengl" options" or "directs 3d options" as well as no nVidia logos anywhere. Hopefully this will give you some clues as to what my problem might be.And yes, the computer still freezes on the desktop when I boot with "hardware acceleration" turned up Thanks.

Post backand let us know. 
One other thing, their seems to be some issues with the 23.11 drivers from NVIDIA with freeze ups. From what I have been reading most people have gone back to 21.83's that seems to fix the problem.

I followed the instructions that the site gave me and I still have the same problem. I noticed something else though, tell me if this means anything. I ran "msinfo32", then clicked on compnents, and then clicked on problem devices, this is what came up. Also, this is with only the Windows display adapters as my drivers.

Two things that haven't been suggested yet:
Make sure in your bios "Fast Writes" is Disabled. I had a problem where with Fast Writes enabled, I couldn't even boot in to windows.
Also, make sure that "Assign IRQ to VGA" is Enabled
