Title: God I hate computers
Post by: Mr.Tibbs on June 25, 2006, 08:51:33 PM

Before I begin on this rant I would like to mention this:

LATEST NVIDIA DRIVERS[/color]

Apparently the latest nvidia drivers 91.34 correct me if I am wrong. When I installed those it said my video card was SLI and gave this error at the bottom. I just exited out of it and that was the end of it, just a heads up. My video card EVGA 6600LE. Anyways computer crashed and I have to reinstall everything before the lan. Sorry Rathe Silkroad was lost, but I managed to get a couple of things. And I am trying something new for the damn windows activation, let you know if it works out. Spyware is evil and that is what killed it. O woe is me.

Haven't heard any such complaints about them until now.

I get this message too, even though my system is not even SLI capable. Yes, it is an annoyance, but I wouldn't blame it on killing your system.

If a driver causes a problem, Windows XP has driver rollback that you can use to "rollback" (clever huh?) a driver to a previous version. Boot to safe mode, open device manager, then the properties of the video card, and click on "Roll Back Driver" on the Driver tab.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Well since then I got a copy of Corporate Edition of XP. I couldn't activate my key anymore, I reverted back to 81.94 and it seems to be running good. Thank god I wasn't the only one with this problem.
