GF4 Drivers HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello,
I have a GF4 Ti4200 card and was using 40.xx drivers or higher, I cannot remember the exact number. I deleted with Add/Remove programs and then used 'NVIDIA Nasty File' but it did not seem to delete the nv4.dll file permanently. I keeps coming back!! I downloaded 'NVIDIA RIP' but for some reason the .exe file will work. I want use the 30.82 driver, as I know it is safe the game video game I play with. Can you PLEASE give me a hand with this, I have spent 3 hours and gotten no where. Thank you !! |

I don't know what OS you have, but if you do a search for nv*.* for all c:\ and delete what nv*.* files it will delete, reboot, and re-install 30.82, that might do it. |

Hello fellows,
Thank you all for your help. I loaded up the 30.82 drivers and they are the drivers listed, so I assume they are over-riding the previous Nvidia drivers. However, I am having serious low gamma brightness issues. I am using PowerStrip to bump up the gamma, but is there a way I can setup the gamma in 30.82 so it will remain at a proper brightness level. Thank you in advance ! "Robert" wrote in message ... On Mon, 14 Jul 2003 18:09:01 -0700, "Dave" wrote: ya, I be the file yoyu are referring to is the standard nvidia driver that comes with xp.

Maybe you need to set up your monitor correctly first because there is no problem with the gamma default setting in 30.82. What .inf file is your monitor using? |

It's normally a hidden folder in the Windows Folder so use Explorer/View/Folder options/View to un hide all files AND don't hide any file types. Look for the file Nvagp.inf and delete it. If you update from a series 3XX Dets run the 30xxx/40xx fix after the update. http://download.guru3d.com/ I stopped using powerstrip for gamma. ********************************************* Download the free,"Rivatuner", http://www.guru3d.com/rivatuner/ Have it load on bootup. run it. Main/Driver settings/Customize/Customize Desktop and Overlay settings. Make a gamma corrected brightness say 2.2 and choose the save Icon but give the scheme a name say gamma1 Make another one but reset to defaults and save as Def1 Now go back to the Main Tab/Launcher and make Launcher profiles with the + sign(add) and give this the same names as the two you have made but edit each one so it launches the colour scheme and in the Shortcut key box I use Crtl+1 for my gamma1 and Ctrl+2 for my Def1. Anytime I want the gamma settings up I use the key combos and in the Launcher you can even set it to run the specific game if you like with a custom gamma for that game.
