The new drivers have adware coded into them. When you try, and
disable the tray icon from within the driver control panel, it popsup
again at reboot with a message that one of your SLI cards was
disabled, even though you have only one card, or an AGP card. The
message ask you to click the bubble fr more info, which then brings
you to Nvidia's SLI website. This is nothing more than an
advertisement to get you to buy SLI. If you try, and disable it from
MSCONFIG, it reinstalls itself. Malware. The ATI products are now
looking better because of this.


This is a quite obvious bug and i noticed it in the inofficial 91.31, and
thought it´ll be removed in an official driver- D´OH!
I´ve scanned the registry and found no way to disable this.Thought it´s
because i have an ASrock 939dual with fully implemented AGP and PCIe, so
which mobos do you guys own?
