nvidia Driver Download Portal is SCREWED

In Internet Explorer, you can't even get the other dropdowns to
populate when you select the product type. Nice! They don't bother
to test their portal in the browser with more than 80% marketshare,
nor do they give you an easy way to e-mail portal support.

It's funny that if you paste their driver widget code into an html doc,
it actually does work.

I dunno, looks ok to me in both ie7 and firefox

but mainly, why are you using internet explorer, if you don't like
firefox, use opera, or google chrome, or anything
all are better than IE

Works in Firefox. Maybe you should move up to a better browser.

Firefox is a buffer overflow exploit-laden accident waiting to happen.
I'm sorry you drank the koolaid.

Well they fixed it since I posted that. Regardless of what browser
any particular individual likes, my point still stands that when one
browser has 80% of the marketshare it's pretty stupid to not to test
in it first.

I did end up using Fire****ed to get the update I needed temporarily,
but I won't run that gaping security hole unless I have to.

Because it's integrated into the OS? Because it's the de facto standard?
Because I've never had a problem with it?

Firefox bigots are indistinguishable from Linux bigots.

Tell that to Seagate... or NASA (Hubble). Not testing a product before
releasing it into the market seems to be the norm nowadays...
