NVIDEA Quick Tweak Icon won't go away permanently -GeForce2 Go
Dell posted a new version of the GeForce2 Go drivers the other day,
and notified me. I installed them, and both problems disappeared. Therefore, the screen blackout is not a Windows problem but a video driver problem. As for the Quick Tweak icon, it no longe appears on startup. As I mentioned, I unchecked the box everywhere it could be found includding in the Display Properties. It always was checked again when I re-booted. Also a known problems according to the Dell web page. ---Kraz On Wed, 21 May 2003 16:19:40 GMT, "Thomas Andrén" wrote: skrev i meddelandet I am running WinXP Pro on a Dell Inspiron 8100 with a GeForce2 Go adapter- 32 MB- Bios version 3.11.0113. I don't use the laptop for games. The driver version was recently upgraded to 2.9.6.3 . Since then, after logging on, there is a LONG screen blackout (video mode change?) after the desktop first starts to paint. It then returns to a normal video mode perhaps 10 seconds later and and finishes painting the dektop. But even more annoying, a thing called the NVIDEA Quick Tweak Icon keeps appearing in the taskbar on startup. I found the nView Desktop Manager in Control Panel and continually uncheck the box "Show Desktop Quick Tweak Icon", and it unloads, but shows up again after rebooting. Some insight/help with these problems please. thanks, ---Dave Krasnow the(dot)kraz(at)comcast(dot)net Someone said that screen blackout is caused by some of the latest files from Windows Update, i have the same problem on my laptop, it goes blank 2-3 sec not a big problem for me but.. Maybe never graphic drivers fixes that problem but i havent tried that yet. If you have the latest driver from Dell and it doesent fix your problem, try never modified Detonator drivers instead: www.cybercookie.net Disable Quick Tweak Icon: (I do not have a EN OS, but you should find it anyway) Open screen properties and click on "Settings", "Advanced", "Geforce4 xxxx", "Other options", "Desktop tools" and uncheck "Show Quick Tweak Icon in systray", or something similar. /Thomas A/ ---Dave Krasnow the(dot)kraz(at)comcast(dot)net |
