Yet another nVidia display driver that does not work.
Every 8x.xx driver has behaved the same including the new 81.98. During
install, the screen goes black with a blinking cursor in the top left and the computer hangs. If I install the driver from safe mode, then the driver installs ok, but on rebooting back to normal mode, the computer hangs with a black screen. Drivers up to and including 78.05 work just great. For those who are interested, this is the relevant setup. Windows XP Professional. Tyan S2466N-4M mainboard. AMD 762 northbridge, AMD 768 southbridge Dual Athlon-MP 2600+ CPUs 2GB ECC registered RAM BFG GF6800GT-OC 256MB AGP video card. The 81.98 driver will load with a GF4 4200ti card but not with the 6800GT. Will they ever fix it so I can get the "improved dual CPU and dual core performance"? |

This is probably one of two things, either it's not detecting your monitor properly (i.e. the new "Direct Access" functionality), or your refresh rate isn't being set properly. First, make sure your monitor .inf file is installed. This provides the OS with timing and refresh rate information. Do a clean uninstall of the driver with a utility like Driver Cleaner and start over. If it still does it, this might have something to do with the driver services loaded at start. There's an entry for "nwiz" and "nvsvc32" on startup, so try disabling those. While your at it, also check the management console (right click My Computer Manage) under Event Viewer and Application or System and see if there's any specific events for the NVIDIA driver failing to start or a display related error. |

The driver works fine...its your PC that doesn't!!!
Try booting into safe mode, remove all current NVidia drivers, reboot back into normal mode and try reinstalling them again.

Really ? I'm not quite sure what you mean by multi-socket ( .. server boards perhaps.. ?). However with a desktop/single-socket, multi-core CPU system, I haven't noticed anything traumatic. X2 4400+, 7800GTX/81.98, Win XP, A8N32-SLI (nForce4) Bios0502 or 0805. More likely a MB BIOS issue for those with problems. Software that doesn't do too well with HT is also likely to fail with dual-core. Use Set Affinity for such problems. John Lewis McG. snip |

If I install the driver from safe mode, then the driver installs ok, but on rebooting back to normal mode, the computer hangs with a black screen. And why do you think that this is a problem with the drivers? FYI: all the 8x.xx drivers worked just fine on my computers. If they were faulty as you claim they wouldn't. But the fact that they work fine on millions of computer but not on yours should have brought you to the concolusion that it's a fault of your system or from you but definitely not the drivers Drivers up to and including 78.05 work just great.

The 81.98 driver will load with a GF4 4200ti card but not with the 6800GT. Ever thought about that perhaps it's your video card that cases the problems? Certainly not. Will they ever fix it so I can get the "improved dual CPU and dual core performance"? Why should they fix what ain't broken? Benjamin |
