We believe we must rewrite our code that writes to the display to solve NVidia's problems. We used the Microsoft RECOMMENDED coding method, but today that is out of date. We're trying to identify the true problem first, then design a fix.  |
I am a little puzzled that the MTU staff is experiencing problems with the new driver.
On my machine, the performance is fantastic! No crashes, no black boxes, no black ovelays, no more having to use "Always On Top" and most importantly... the computer does not get as hot as it use too!
For the problems being experience by the staff I can only think of a couple of things to look at;
1. At any time have the driver(s) been rolled back using the Windows Driver Roll Back feature?
NVidia indicates on their web site that to "Roll Back" to an earlier driver, the current driver must be uninstalled utilizing the Uninstall Programs under Control Panel, then install the earlier driver. The Windows Driver Roll Back feature does not work for NVidia as it leaves corrupted/unneeded files behind.
2. Considering the above, does the staff utilize Iolo's System Mechanic to keep the thier computer cleaned up?
I was experiencing problems with other programs such as just being plain slow to open (weather it was initial boot or applications) and battery running down quickly. I went to Dell Support's web site and was redirected to System Mechanic. Great program! Every thing has been running quick and smooth since.
Hope this helps!
Again, "Thanks Much for Great Products!"
