'NVIDIA Nasty File' but it did not seem to delete the nv4.dll file
permanently. I keeps coming back!!

I downloaded 'NVIDIA RIP' but for some reason the .exe file will work.

I want use the 30.82 driver, as I know it is safe the game video game I play
with.

Can you PLEASE give me a hand with this, I have spent 3 hours and gotten no
where.

Thank you !!

I'm still using 30.82 with my 4200.
I don't know what OS you have, but if you do a search for nv*.* for all c:\ and
delete what nv*.* files it will delete, reboot, and re-install 30.82, that might
do it.

Did you try first changing the driver to standard VGA?

Hello fellows,

Thank you all for your help. I loaded up the 30.82 drivers and they are the
drivers listed, so I assume they are over-riding the previous Nvidia
drivers.

However, I am having serious low gamma brightness issues. I am using
PowerStrip to bump up the gamma, but is there a way I can setup the gamma in
30.82 so it will remain at a proper brightness level.

Thank you in advance !

Maybe you need to set up your monitor correctly first because there is
no problem with the gamma default setting in 30.82. What .inf file is
your monitor using?

It's normally a hidden folder in the Windows Folder so use
Explorer/View/Folder options/View to un hide all files AND don't hide
any file types.
Look for the file Nvagp.inf
and delete it.
If you update from a series 3XX Dets run the 30xxx/40xx fix after the
update.
http://download.guru3d.com/



I stopped using powerstrip for gamma.
*********************************************

Download the free,"Rivatuner",
http://www.guru3d.com/rivatuner/
Have it load on bootup.
run it.
Main/Driver settings/Customize/Customize Desktop and Overlay settings.
Make a gamma corrected brightness say 2.2 and choose the save Icon but
give the scheme a name say
gamma1
Make another one but reset to defaults and save as
Def1
Now go back to the Main Tab/Launcher and make Launcher profiles with
the + sign(add) and give this the same names as the two you have made
but edit each one so it launches the colour scheme and in the Shortcut
key box I use Crtl+1 for my gamma1 and Ctrl+2 for my Def1.
Anytime I want the gamma settings up I use the key combos and in the
Launcher you can even set it to run the specific game if you like with
a custom gamma for that game.
