My direct X has said this:

-----------------------------------
Inactive Display Entries in Registry
------------------------------------
Card name: NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro
Driver: nvdisp.drv

----------------------------------
Inactive Sound Entries in Registry
----------------------------------
Card name: VIA PCI Audio Controller (WDM)
Driver: wdmaud.drv


the reason why I mention this is because my system seems somewhat unstable, mouse goes shaky, programs crash after time, reboot seems to clear things up. Do I need to fix the registry problems?

HAY

Hay that happend to me also

My registry utility was unable to clear the entrie's

But i havent had any performance issue's

It happens when you install new updates sometimes without disableing &uninstalling and alll that cra p . follow the update instruction's exactly...even if you did it may happen anyway

The way i understand it ,is that the update is not just- it's a complete package (sometimes automated)with the new drv.
and dos'nt overwrite previos drivers just installs new ;
so they get taged by directx as inactive ..

Maybe someone will jump in here and help us both if im wrong or explain in ferther detail..
