77.33+ nVidia Driver Issues

docholiday · 08-27-2005, 03:19 PM

Hey all,

My computer seems to have an issue with nvidia drivers that are any newer than 77.30, and I cannot figure out why. I have browsed the nvidia help forums and looked on the internet, but with little success.

My problem is that when I install the drivers I am unable to see videos, screensavers, and certain games when in DVI mode on my monitor. When I have version 77.30 installed, everything works perfectly on both DVI and analog. I have no idea as to what is going on.

System:
----------
AMD 64 3200+
2 gigs RAM (x2 1 gig sticks)
nvidia 6800 GT OC (256MB)
ViewSonic VP191b 19" LCD x/ Portrait View Option

I think that's all you should need. Any help in this area would be much appreciated.

i am havin the same problem, not sure whether it is only drivers newer than 77.30 but i do have that sort of problem. does your pc freeze 4 ages then monitor goes into standby?

No it doesn't freeze, it simply refuses to dislplay any type of video while I'm on the DVI input channel.
