NVidia 45.23 Drivers (Read 449 times)

Be careful with the latest English drivers if you don't have a facility for rolling back.

Just downloaded them (with my new BROADBAND Grin connection Wink ) and when I installed them I found that many (all?) of my extended bmps with transparency weren't transparent any more. Just black.

I've now gone back to 44 drivers and all is well.

BTW I'm running a GeForce 3 Ti 200 on XP Pro with AMD 2600+ cpu

I've been running the 45s with my Ti4600 with no problems at all Roger. Interesting. Have you notified nVidia?

Hey Mark, thanks for that.

Downloaded the drivers again and reinstalled - this time no problem

So no need to worry - looks like my file was damaged during the download or didn't install properly first time round.

Thanks Lurch. I've now got the 33s after also going thru the 24s!

Look to have no problem

Thanks again both

Back again - change that!

I've had to roll back to 24. I've just treated myself to a Genius cordless k/board and optical mouse set and quite often I get a problem with the mouse cursor leaving 'repeats' across my panels (reported elsewhere - as yet no reply from Genius, thanks guys!).

I found I could solve it by alt-tabbing out, opening my mouse 'control panel', clicking OK and going back into FS.

When I did this with 33 my graphics were totally stuffed - back to 24 and the problem doesn't seem to arise anyway.

Anyone else found problems with cordless kit or am I all alone?

... my cordless keyboard and mouse (logitech) was causeing some stutters in the fps, I believe it was the software constantly monitoring the battery condition interupting the cpu? ... gone back to cords now and no problems .... you couldn't de-frag with them in either!

Sad

Yeah I'm still getting all kinds of problems with my Genius cordless set.

Cursor leaving flashing ghosts behind it on panels and I'm still having general graphics problems with all NVidia driver sets inc old ones.

Looks like I'm gonna have to go back to regular eqpt
