Dumb mistake, enabled pixel processor quad in 6600 gt, help

Lol. Nice little pickle you got yourself into there.

Can you get into Riva Tuner to load at all? If so, Try uninstalling "Nvstrap" instead of setting the pipes back to what they should be.

Thanks for the swift response.

I can get into RivaTuner in safe mode or when the driver's are uninstalled but it does not display the options for graphic card. For example the option for changing the refresh rate is available but the options for overclocking or restoring the card from what I have done is not available.

"Try uninstalling "Nvstrap" instead of setting the pipes back to what they should be."

I will try to do this but please tell me what does uninstalling "Nvstrap" has to do with my problem and what should I expect to happen when I do this?

By the way, Is there Anyone who knows a way to flash the graphic card's bios through DOS environment or in safe mode? I think if I can restore the original BIOS then the problem is solved.

To enable the unlocking of that pixel processor you installed something called "NVstrap" I'm hoping uninstalling it will return you card to default, regardless of drivers. If it doesn't it doesn't I guess.

Did you try system restore?

If you can, restore you computer to a states BEFORE you started having the problem.

how is it that you unlocked anything on a 6600gt? they only have 8 pipelines and they're all enabled.

"how is it that you unlocked anything on a 6600gt? they only have 8 pipelines and they're all enabled."

That is why it is a dumb mistake. ;-)

Uninstalled the RivaTuer and the problem is solved.

I thought the change is done through the BIOS but you were right, it is not.
Thanks alot every one, you were great help. I did not respond for the past 3 hours because I went to buy a 7800gt/gtx and nearly got one.

Will wait a bit longer and see what happens. The performance of my 6600gt kills me.
