Currently, I am using 174.74_geforce_winxp_32bit_english_beta.exe which
works OK. I haven't upgraded my video card driver for a while. What was
the last driver release (beta or certified) before 178? No more NVIDIA
cards and driver after 178 for me.

Thank you in advance.


Not sure , but its a fact that Microsoft required Nvidia to do this.


Why?


sr
It was a lame excuse to prevent piracy and Nvidia caved in.
Microsoft are MTFKERS

Then, how come ATI still has its options and full screen? How are we
supposed to watch videos fullscreen on our secondary displays like TVs then?

Buy an ATI card and stop buying nvidia until they realise income is way too
down and have to rebring it back in on a future card,
regardless of what Microsoft says.

I'd like to, but I don't have the money to buy another gaming card to replace
my old GeForce 7950 GT KO video card.

Use 174.xx and WinXP if you need full screen video mirroring:

Vista users are **** outta luck.



But then if going back to 174.xx, it screws us out of all the new physics
stuff in the latest drivers. I have boxed away a perfectly good 8800GTS 640
and am using a pair of ATI 3870 OC cards in crossfire now.
