Had to roll back from 310.90
I updated my nVIDIA GeoForce 8800GT driver a week or so ago to version
310.90. But I hit a major problem. I use FRAPS (mainly to record Google Earth tours) and the frame rate dropped from its typical 20-30 fps to an unacceptable 5-6 fps. Some googling last night revealed that it's a known issue. So I used the Roll Back facility on this PC and am now using the driver which Win XP calls 6.14.13.623. If I've got the hang of the conversion that means version 362.3 in nVidia terms, yes? Is that my best choice? If not, could someone give me a pointer to a more stable/reliable one pleased But to my dismay this roll back has not fixed the FRAPS problem. Yet I WAS using that version for many months with FRAPS with no problem. Anyone have any ideas what I should try next please? -------------------- BTW, it might be unrelated but I've just noticed that in Device Manager Display adapters there's another entry as well as nVidia, called LogMeIn Mirror Driver. Haven't had time to research that yet. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK |

XP should be calling it 6.14.13.0623 which equates to version 306.23 Is that my best choice? If not, could someone give me a pointer to a more stable/reliable one pleased You've gone back two versions. There is also 310.70. Assuming you have 32-bit XP then this is the link: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/54730 To date I've been lucky enough to have had no 3xx series driver instability issues, so I can't recommend one driver over another. But to my dismay this roll back has not fixed the FRAPS problem. Yet I WAS using that version for many months with FRAPS with no problem. When you install the nvidia drivers select the "Custom (Advanced)" option, click Next, then tick "Perform clean installation" and proceed with the install. I've had nasty desktop artefacts appear that no system restore point could fix. Anyone have any ideas what I should try next please? -------------------- BTW, it might be unrelated but I've just noticed that in Device Manager Display adapters there's another entry as well as nVidia, called LogMeIn Mirror Driver. Haven't had time to research that yet. That's an interesting one. I'd right click on the logmeln mirror driver and disable it just to see if you gain FPS. It's a mirror driver which implies that it duplicates operations sent to the regular graphics card driver. This particular one sounds likes it's part of some remote desktop viewing software package, although the driver should only be sucking up resources when in use. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK -- Tony.
