Open Issues in Version 61.76

As with every released driver, version 61.76 of the Release 60 driver has open issues and enhancement requests associated with it. What follows is a list of issues that are either not fixed or not implemented in this version. Some problems listed may not have been thoroughly investigated and, in fact, may not be NVIDIA issues. Others will have workaround solutions.

- The driver does not support PCI Express under the Windows NT 4.0 operating system. This will be fixed in a future driver release.
- GeForce FX 5200, Windows NT 4.0: Crash in Quake3 ver. 1.32 with Multiview. A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release.
- Quadro FX 4000, Windows XP, Lightwave 8.0/7.5: Main grid is corrupted on startup. A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release.4 NVIDIA Corporation
- GeForce FX 5950 Ultra, Windows XP: Deus Ex 2 door button shader disappears. A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release.
- GeForce 6800: Cannot set refresh rate of 48 Hz for 3840x2400. A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release.
- Quadro FX 1100, Windows XP, Autodesk Inventor 8: Mipmapping is broken. A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release.

- GeForce2, GeForce4 MX, Windows XP: City of Heroes crashes to the desktop intermittently. This is not an NVIDIA bug.
