I am running Windows 7 Pro x86, I have successfully gotten the sfft 1.5 drivers to run stably. If I try anything higher than that my screen artifacts and mouse seizes/jumps. I know it's a longshot, but I was wondering if anyone else has run into this.

System Specs Are:
Supermicro p6dge - MOBO
Dual 1GHZ PIII (slot 1) - CPUs
2GB (4x512) PC100 - RAM
Voodoo 5 5500 AGP - Video
Creative SB Live! - Sound

Hi SlyVenom,

first of all, you're welcome here.

But this your phrase

is not much clear for me.

In general, the screen artifacts as well as the mouse jumps on Pentium III based platforms could be relate with a system RAM memory issue.

So, could you replace your DIMMs with other similar components and test your PC again?

Let me know please.

Bye bye

Sorry it took so long for me to check back.

I have run memtest86+ and the memory has passed 12+ loops. I wonder if the memory on the video card is the issue. Regardless, I will look into a few options and test with some different components and get back to you.

Hi SlyVenom,

no problem for the delay, of course.

OK, so let me know if the issue remains also changing some hardware components, as you're writing.

If we can exclude hardware related problems, then we must think to a possible bug of the driver's releases higher than 1.5 (for this specific hw and sw configuration).

Bye bye
