?: switching back to earlier video drivers version
Hi,
I have a Gigabyte 6600GT 128mb card and am currently running on version 94.24 drivers. I want to revert back to version 91.74 but when I do it says the installation didn't work due to "The Parameter is Incorrect/invalid". Can anyone tell me what this "Parameter" is that's it's having trouble with? Also Incorrect might not be the correct word, it might be Invalid. can't remember at the moment. I want to try this because I am trying to run Second Life and it says it has an error with the video drivers and to make sure to use the latest drivers, which I do in this case (94.24). but I wanna try an earlier version to see if it makes a difference. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Bill |

Uninstall 94.24 completely, reboot and install the earlier version (I'd advise 93.81 rather than 91.74). |

The new drivers change/add some things, so when you try to revert back you got that error. if you force an installation with older drivers, you could mess a lot.

What things make the 94.24 drivers uninstallable? Where did you hear this? This would make the 94.24's the first drivers you can not uninstall, so you need to back up that assertion. |

That's funny I got fed-up with version 94.24 drivers too. Forunately I was able to rollback the driver using DriveImage as I'd made an image of the disk just before I installed them. :-) Pablo. |
