Now instead of having a Silent Hunter 3 that will sometimes play for hours without crashing it doesn't even load at all!?!? I have a support question out to Nvidia but I'm sure the support I'll receive here will be quicker and more effiecient! Nvidia's website is painfully difficult to navigate through and find the driver archive for my hardware can anyone get me back to square 1 or perhaps even suggest a driver that might make SH3 even more stable that my first one? Thanks in advance!!!! B  |
....it can happen unloading and reloading Nvidia Drivers is not the most user friendly procedure, I avoid it like the plague.
1. Go to the Control Panel Uninstall Programs and uninstall your original Nvidia video drivers and REBOOT.
2. Say NO to all the auto install and found new hardware rubbish that pops up. You should now be looking at an UGLY VGA display.
3. Now you need to run a Nvidia driver removal tool, Nvidia drivers are notorious for lurking around in folders after an uninstall. They can botch your new install. Go to Guru3d
www.guru3d.com and download Driver Cleaner Pro
http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=745 and read the README and then run it.... REBOOT.
4. Again say NO to all the POPUPS! Then go to the folder and execute the Nvidia driver executable that you desire, follow the prompts and when prompted REBOOT.
5. Go to the Nvidia Control Panel and reset your settings to what they were prior.
6. The latest drivers I see on Guru3D are the Nvidia 169.28 WHQL.
Where are you downloading your drivers from?
Good Luck!
