I recently swapped an ATI X1900XT for the NVidia Quadro FX 4500. Everything was working fine for a few days but now WinXP hangs at startup when accessed through Fusion. If I boot into Windows directly through BootCamp, the system is fine - Windows recognizes the Quadro and gives me all the standard resolutions.
On the flip side, when I originally booted into WinXP via Fusion, I had video but none of the higher resolutions. Now, all I get is the Windows splash and then a solid black screen.
Indications are that the Windows environment is not booting at all. If I try SafeBoot, I see the log which promptly stops at a line ending with /agp440. The guest OS screen immediately goes to blue with "fatal error" and some hex numbers displayed. Is Windows looking for an AGP video slot?? Why would this work for a while and then 'die?' How do I get Windows to recognize the VMWare video card as a (virtual??) NVidia Quadro FX 4500?
I feel like I'm so close but I'm pulling my hair out on this one! Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
