Release 331 Graphics Drivers for Windows - Version 331.82 RN-W33182-02v01 | 24
Known Product Limitations
Medal of Honor Under Windows XP / Windows 2000
 Problem
The Electronic Arts game Medal of Honor uses a hard coded buffer to parse the
OpenGL extension string. This can cause a system crash under Windows XP and
Windows 2000.
 Workaround
NVIDIA has implemented Medal of Honor application detection to work around this
extension string crash.
Windows XP/2000 Issue with Settings Tab Monitor
Positioning
 Problem
In the Windows Display Properties > Settings tab, the secondary monitors cannot be
positioned directly above monitor #1 without snapping horizontally to a position
diagonal to monitor #1.
 When the Problem Occurs
The problem occurs when four monitors are connected to the graphics adapter card,
but only two of them are enabled.
 Cause and Workaround
This is a Microsoft—not an NVIDIA—bug, and there is no workaround to correct the
positioning of the monitor icons. However, the actual positioning of the displays on
the desktop can be corrected using the nView Desktop Manager window as follows:
a Under the Tools tab in the Desktop Manager windows, make sure Automatically
Align Displays is checked.
b In the Settings tab, position the appropriate monitor icon above monitor #1, then
click Apply.
The mouse cursor movement between monitor desktops will correspond to a
vertical orientation of the monitors, even though the monitor icons in the Settings
tab are diagonal to each other.
Antialiasing Problems With Certain Applications
Antialiasing in the NVIDIA Direct3D driver requires each new frame to be rendered from
scratch. This requirement adversely affects applications that render only that portion of
the content that has changed since the last frame. A common symptom of this problem is
geometric structures that incorrectly disappear and re-appear as the scene shifts.
Note: This will be the case even if the monitor icons are deliberately
positioned diagonal to each other.
