You can try rolling back to older driver. Please note, I am using 61.77 and above without any problem. Is that monitor is a older monitor? Older monitor may have trouble refreshing or resync. Try the following to see if it will help. * Set your Refresh rate [Hz] 85Hz. If it set around 85, then set it down like 75Hz and see if make any differences. Does it make any differences? Else try this - * Turn off Vertical Sync. Does it make any differences? Else try this - * Set Hardware acceleration to the highest like 4xS etc. Does it make any differences? Do you have another PC, try this card on another PC and see if the problem exhibit on the new PC. If so, your last resort is to get another card [Exchange / RMA etc.]. CapFusion,... |

I read from someone having this problem that earlier drivers didn't display the behavior. Having a 6800GT I don't have that choice. I'd try it if I were you. |

I have the exact same problem with my geforce Ti4200. All was fine
until I installed SP2, and then I started having intermittent flashes where my screen would go blank for a second and then come back on. I noticed it happening when opening windows or scrolling. I have tried all the drivers from the website (I am currently using 6693), even previous drivers that I never had a problem with. I have reformatted my hard drive, and I still have the flashing issue only after installing SP2. I am convinced it is an issue that surfaced as a result of installing SP2, but I have exhausted all of my troubleshooting ideas. If anyone has any ideas, I'd sure appreciate hearing them. HRP |

HRP I have almost the same problem with the 61.77 drivers when right-clicking on any type of video file (avi,wmv,mpeg) or when using shortcuts like ctrl-x to start moving that type of files. Very annoying but nothing more than than. I am running Windows XP SP1. I don't have this problem on a Win2000 machine (not with the 61.77 driver or with a newer one). I haven't tested it with the latest driver yet but since I also need the nvidia stereo drivers for my 3d glasses, I can't upgrate (yet). regards, Marcel |

Hello,
I had the same problem with my 6800U. Reinstalling/ Updating the nforce drivers from nvidia solved that problem (5.10) What kind of Monitor do you use? TFT or CRT? Is it DVI ?

Installing the last drivers from nvidia didn't fix the problem for me I'm fighting to uninstall directx and reinstall a previous version, but for the moment i didn't manage to uninstall it successfully (see and ) "hrpuffnstuff" a écrit dans le message de ...

Hi again,
ok this applies only if you have a nfoce chipset. If not try to update the latest chipset drivers you have on board. Regards, Thorsten P.S.: switching between graphic drivers didn't help me but the procedure I mentioned earlier. "Thorsten Dombrowski" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...
