Problem when updating Nvidia nForce VGA Driver to v4243
Don't do the update drivers from the Microsoft's Update page. Download the
nforce drivers and install them like you normally have to. I have yet to get drivers installed successfully from Microsoft's Update page. If I'm mistaken by what you mean by "MSI Live Update 2" facility, the never mind.

I got the same | problem last time, but have just given it another go this afternoon in the | hope that it might work this time. | I've done a system restore to go back to using v4114, as I'm not going to | have my monitor do the config on every start up. | | Can anyone suggest what might be causing this problem, and possibly a | solution, as I would really like to get over this hurdle, so that I can use | this latest driver. | | | Thanks very much, | James. | | | NB. Please keep explanations simple if poss, as although I'm fairly PC | literate, I'm not much of a techie!! Cheers. | | |

Obviously he has an MSI video card and the live update should work fine. The reconfig issue might be simply just because the new drivers are for a split second disabling the video card before it initializes the screenmode that you have set in Windows. I've noticed things like this before with new driver versions, where they make the monitor completely reset upon mode switching. Personally, I wouldn't worry about it at all. |

I agree, it's probably the video going through a "hard-reset" which is
causing the monitor to auto-config itself. While it may be un-nerving it's probably just doing what it thinks is best to give you the best picture since the "reset". Ron "Shaun" wrote in message ...
