Immortal 0 Posted May 16, 2002 The nVidia 28.84 drivers are not yet posted on nVidia's actual driver update site for windowsXP (http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=windows2000). This might mean they need a bit more work! Uninstall the newer drivers and re-install the older drivers and see if the nVidia control panel comes back, if it does it will be the newer drivers that are faulty! Share this post Link to post
Sampson 0 Posted May 16, 2002 Before reinstalling the old drivers, install the video card with Standard VGA drivers first. Then reboot and install your Nvidia software. Share this post Link to post

Sampson 0 Posted May 17, 2002 Shouldn't think you need to. You need to seek out and purge all of the nvidia drivers in \system \system\32 or system32\drivers. They are usually nv*.* Change the card to Standard VGA. Reboot. Make sure it stays the standard VGA. Uninstall the Nvidia software. Go into windows explorer and erase all the nv*.* drivers in the various folders. Reboot again. The screen should absolutely dreadful. Install the Nvidia software. Share this post Link to post

Gambler FEX online 0 Posted May 22, 2002 Instead of adding bloat like movie maker and annoying newbie-tools like system restors, they could make the whole system more bulletproof, more clean and less prone to exactly the problems NTGAMEMAN and me and so many others have. Im glad linux is here but it seems we need some more. Some feedback to microsoft from us pro users. Share this post Link to post
Brian Frank 0 Posted May 22, 2002 I'm all for Linux, but there are a few problems: Where's the games for it (HL, Serious Sam, Jedi Knight, etc.)? May be lame, but I enjoy my games. I know all of my hardware isn't supported, not necessarily a fault of Linux, but the fact that it's not seeing drivers from everyone. I can set it up, but the it's like "What the heck do I do with it." I've already sold my soul to Bill G. anyway (for the right to be his protege and eventual ruler of MS and the world;)) Share this post Link to post
