I tried the new drivers and they slowed NR2002 to a crawl, even switching
between screens was horribly
slow, back to the 30.82's. Weird.

On the second attempt to install them, computer would not even boot up, had
to boot up in safe mode and roll back again to the 30.82's to get it to
work.

No issues here. Picked up a few frames, but I swear I think the overal
quality is down a notch. That may have been intentional, you know :)

Morris...

With a P4 platform....you have an Intel Northbridge chipset....(or the
equivalent of). Many settings for Intel chipsets are not "optimized" by
default on the Nv properties tabs. Your installation of the new drivers
would have reset all those to their defaults! Perhaps you don't remember
setting them properly at one time? I don't know.....but the new Nv drivers
wouldn't cause your system to just slow to a crawl......drivers don't do
that. Incorrect settings or incompatible settings will.

Weren't they ripped from nforce chipset drivers?

I wouldn't trust drivers that had hacked .inf files
to make them work.

The "new" detonators are version 40.41 - direct from the nvidia web site, not ripped from
anywhere else. They are working great for me on Windows XP Pro.

Whenever anyone talks about the "new drivers" and doesn't give a version number, the post
is worthless. nvidia drivers are updated frequently.

Hi,

After installing 40.41 drivers under Windows 2000, I can't access Nvidia
properties in display settings. error is

An error occuured while Windows was working with the Control Panel file
C:\WINNT\System32\desk.cpl

To confirm this is a driver problem, I installed the driver on 2 different
builds of Windows 2000 - Advanced Server and workstation. I had the same
problem with both. The Workstation build was totally clean - with no geforce
tweak, riva or other utilities installed.

Looks like these drivers might only be good for XP for the moment, though
they are listed as being XP/2000 compatibile

Tim...

I've seen that error....heard of it.......before. The problem is, I can't
remember the "fix" for it. But, I'm pretty sure it had to do with one of
the component files in the new drivers not "overwriting" one of the older
components....or not overwriting it properly. The fix had something to do
with using NvCleaner.....then reinstalling the new drivers.

I always "clean" my existing drivers out.....so haven't had this problem (in
a long time).

Check out Guru3D boards and I bet you this is the answer.

Thanks Tom - I'll try the Detonator destroyer utility and post what happens.

Apology for continuing mostly OT thread.

In fear of making of your ego even bigger, you were spot on! Thanks a lot
Tom :-)

I did a complete uninstall, booted in VGA mode and re-installed from
scratch. Now everything is fine.

Thanks again,
Tim

Lol....don't worry about "inflating my ego".....I do that all by myself
every day......lol.... Then, I go run Darlington in N2K2.....and blow it
all to hell! ....lol.....

Glad my failing memory works some times....and helped you out.

I experienced 40.41 makes occasional flash with N2002 and GPL...
It's really disturbing so cannot concentrate. =(
Looks like no one suffering these trouble...?

I'll go back to 30.XX drivers.

Abit KT7A
Crucial PC133 256 x2
Leadtek A250 GeForce4 Ti4600 128MB

Tom has never installed the Memorex Wireless Mouse Drivers :)

No uninstaller. No real way to track them down.

We spent 2 days on a users laptop destroyed by these things once.

I hadn't noticed before, but my download is explicitly labeled as XP.
