Sounds like a sloppy business.

Not only that, the market is very small.

Just a quick update on this, I got it working. I'm using driver 61.76 (I think that's right, I'm at work at the moment) and I was able to run both BF42 and Oblivion with pretty much max settings and NO LINES! Hopefully I'll finally get to play Oblivion for a decent amount of time but I tested BF42 for about 20 minutes on Omaha Beach with TDM and was racking up the kills! With higher resolution, my aim just became much more accurate with a machine gun

61.76? lol if thats right..... thats pretty weird.

Cause that would be AN OLLLLD driver.

I just installed the 91.31 beta drivers ... nvidia control panel works in x64 now! It was broken in 91.28 =(

Nice, I really have grown found of the 9x.xx series. The Control pannel is nicer than that other crap they had going.

It's 61.xx, I just wasn't sure of the decimals after the 61. But yes, that's about the correct driver! If you read the link I provided earlier pointing to the forums that discussed the VIA conflict you'll see that the problem was narrowed down to any drivers 67.xx on up. It just so happens that I have a bunch of older drivers on hand just in case problems ever arose, and this time it did. I actually have another driver that's 56.xx, I think that's the oldest I have. It didn't seem to be causing any problems, of course I haven't really tested Oblivion all that much :sad:

didn't via put out a new driver that fixed the conflict?? It is hard to think that other people have this same problem and have to use drivers that old without updating.

If they have, I have yet to hear about it. If anyone sees anything about this, PLEASE let me know!

Looking around in the nvidia forums I found this:

Quote

Start->control panel (might wanna change control panel to classic view)->display->settings->advanced->troubleshooting->> bellow the hardware acceleration slider there is a box you have to untick, Enable Write Combining. Uncheck this then it will ask you to reboot.

It is worth a shot.

I'll try to give it a look next chance I get. Thanks!

Tried it last night. I installed the latest driver then unchecked the box. After that I tried to open my games and it wouldn't. Oblivion didn't recognize the video card and BF42 just flickered the screen black for half a second then went back to the desktop. IE ran slowly because the graphics were loading at a snail's pace.

Putting the old driver back and rechecking the box fixed everything again. I think, for now, I'll just stick with this as I really don't run into any problems.
