8800 driver update weirdness
a quick question.
decided to update to newest driver for my 8800 gt...when finished I was unable to go online with dsl anymore. went back to restore point I set before update and...shazaam! was able to get back on the internet! google grouped and such but was unable to find anyone that had suffered such weirdness. How are the two anywhere even close to causing a problem? I wonder. XPsp2 q6600 quad 4gig ram nice, comfy desk chair -- Photoshop Retouching & Digital Artwork www.PixelKat.com

As released these should never have been WHQL certified.

Well, look at who's doing the certifying. Microsoft's track record doesn't
qualify them as a certifying authority. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed."
