OK this is where you can comment on the Nvidia driver sets you are using, what they are like and any specific bugs or game issues you find with them.

Here a link to the latest set of drivers forceware 91.31

For those of you who are now using the new 9x.xx series forceware drivers. heres how to get the old style control panel back.

Go to Control Panel\Appearance and Themes\Display\Settings\Advanced

Select NVIDIA tab and change to old interface

Have just installed the 91.31 drivers set from nvidia found the following probs with em:

1. does not matter how many times you disble taskbar icon, it will always come back when you reboot/boot machine. also displays the same sli message everytime too. annoying.

2/ tried bf2 with em, stutterd a bit. would slow down big time when i was next to an explosion. then usually after aboot an hour it would crash saying that i was out of virtual memory???

Oh and i just hate that new control panel, thankfully they give you an option to revert to 'classic ' control panel.

have went back to 84.21 and no crashes and runs as smooth as it usually does, hooray

Well I don't know the version numbers, but I downloaded the new NvideaGeforce4 drivers for XP in order to run my new NFSCarbon. It solved the problem of the blacked out cars, but the picture broke up into those wee square fragments once I attempted to race online. Had to reboot the puter to get rid of them as they remained even offline. I think my problem is that I have the minimum required RAM for the game: 512meg. Dunno. Not very technical, me. I notice that the new driver's release coincided with the release of NFSC.

eh

well i had all sorts of problems with 91.47 like stuttering in lots of games, but downloaded 93.71 friday and sorted most of my problems...

however, now just cause stutters like haha every 2 minutes....

but the RACE demo works perfect now, last week i couldnt even do 1 lap without stuttering all over the place...

thats the problem with new drivers one release will fix problems and cause some other ones...

the key is too find a stable one that your pc likes and stick to it....
