Problem with new Nvidia Drivers

PounDDer · 07-08-2005, 01:21 AM

When switching to the new Nvidia drivers, videos will no longer play. Anyone else have this problem?

works fine with the previous drivers, but once I install the new nvidia drivers, the computer freezes.

did you remove the old ones before installing the new ones

with video drivers you need to install them from vga mode and with a/virus disabled,but the latest drivers are not always the best option
go back to your earlier driver and see if you still have the problem,i know that you stated you did not before,but you may have now and that will indicate if it is the installation or the drivers

Had the same problem. When I reverted back to the previous drivers no problems.
