Links 2003 w/ Intel-Only Graphics or Intel + Nvidia Graphics - Solution Found
Re: Links 2003 w/ Intel-Only Graphics or Intel + Nvidia Graphics - Solution Found
OK the Nvidia Driver updated today & the original install of the Fix still works
So it appears that installing the Fix once is enough.

Re: Links 2003 w/ Intel-Only Graphics or Intel + Nvidia Graphics - Solution Found
Hello,
I never had big problems with Links2003 and Windows 10. But with a new monitor Links looked like this yesterday.
. .
All attempts with Win10 and the nvidia settings failed.
Only with this instruction from Andy it worked again, thank you very much.
A question about this: If I use the old monitor again, I can simply delete the drivers, or I have to uninstall it somehow?
Thanks again, after many hours that was the solution.![Clapping :clapping:](./images/smilies/clapping.gif)

Andy, I can't thank you enough. I was even considering replacing the failed hard drive on my old computer just to be able to play Links again.
Re: Links 2003 w/ Intel-Only Graphics or Intel + Nvidia Graphics - Solution Found
I had recently returned to playing rounds on Links 2003 after a long layoff (since the early 2000's, I even designed [amateur] a golf course in Course Designer back then). It was awesome, why was I gone for so long?! Then I got a new laptop and found that Links was totally hosed on that machine. The sky wouldn't render (just shows "links" placeholder graphic and some other junk) and the Top View failed to work. That was a bummer until I found this thread, and just like other posters found that these steps got me working again! Although it was true, as Andy said, that I had to exit/start Links a few times before it learned, or whatever, to make it all work. Thank you so much, the effort everyone has made to get this running for us is appreciated.

Hey Jim, thank you. Yes, I am a lifelong Michigander. Lived in a variety of places in the state and have golfed a lot of the courses (318 last count). Am reloading a lot of the Links 2003 courses I downloaded years ago and am finding a bunch of new ones (esp. Whistling Straits HD, looks like a gem) ![Smile :smile:](./images/smilies/smile.gif)

migolfer,
I don't know how many courses I've played in Links but unfortunately it is way more than in real life, the Gailes up in Oscoda and Red Hawk in Tawas the best that I've played for real, maybe 12 to 15 courses total.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see the instructions are embedded in Andy's thread-starter! Thanks!

Andy, thanks for the info, But I'm afraid most of it is a little over my head. I was able to follow your steps as far as pasting the 3DLL file to my links folder, but I can't see where to find the dgvoodoo.DirectxCpl.exe file to run the configuration.
Can yu point me to it?
thanks,
Phil

Your anti virus program likely deleted it. You can paste it back into Links again from the zip file but you will need to turn off your anti virus first.
