52.16 Drivers - Catastrophic Error
Just installed the above drivers.. everything ok until I go into display
properties, advanced, and click on GeForce FX 5600 tab when I get a Catastrophic Error message and a blank tab. Anyone experienced this before? Rolled back the drivers and everything is fine again (except Halo runs like a dog lol). Whats the best way to install these new drivers? I just d/l and run the setup... could my method of installation be causing the error? Thanks in advance Matt |

As your title says: this driver IS a catastrophic error. :-( -- Merci d'enlever le-munster-du-frigo pour me répondre par mail. |

But I had to uninstall the old drives before I could install the new ones. Without uninstalling(only updating to the 52.16), I got a catastrophic error if I try to using the properties menu of the drivers. I investigated the problem and figured out, that when I only updated the drivers the setup mixed up the old and the new ones and didn't work properly. After unistalling the old ones, for this I used the unistall under WinXP and Detonator Destroyer, and installing the 52.16 all worked very well. No errors, no slowdowns and so.. regards, Andreas |

I uninstalled the 45.23s before installing the 52.16s using Device Manager, and this worked without problems on a GF4 Ti4200. I tend to uninstall old drivers before installing new ones as a general rule, unless specifically told not to by a readme.txt. Jeremy |

Anyone experienced this before? Drivers are OK on my system with FX5900, except they killed text in the Hidden and Dangerous interface. If I run it in safe mode the menus are OK, though. It's no biggie, but anybody have any notion as to what it is in these drivers that's killed that text when running the game normally? I honestly can't tell there's much improvement over the 45.23s I was using before, though--not even in Halo which nVidia touts as being improved so greatly. -- chainbreaker |

That technical support is not offered for reference drivers is made very
clear on Nvidia's website if you read the relevant bits; it's a matter for the card manufacturers and vendors. You should not use reference drivers if you're not happy with this state of affairs.

I have had a similar problem with an other game, because I've moved the settings from Application Control to another value. Problem was fixed by setting them back to application controlled. Perhaps you should give this a try. Halo was not very much improved after using the new drivers, but I don't have had any of the errors and lags others have posted here before. regards, Andreas |
