HELP...GRAPHIC DRIVER...

Postby Owen on Mon Apr 26, 2004 7:48 pm

i was playing splinter cell other night, and i needed to install new graphic driver to run the game. so i downloaded from http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/winx ... submit.y=8 this site, and http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_56.72. i installed both drivers, and when i finished playing splinter cell, and tried to play nba live, the graphic got lower than ever...! detail setting was maxed out as usual, but somehow, it makes the game look terrible...kind of blurry and dirty screen...i reinstalled the game, and nothing has changed so far....please, somebody help !!!

NO, NO, NO 2 drivers for 2 completly different Graphics cards!!!
U have installed 1 driver 2 many....
What Graphics card do u own? If its ATI install the ATI driver and if its a Nvidia Geforce FX then install the Nvidia 56.72!!

Now, Heres what u need to do, u have to COMPLETLY remove the drivers u have installed.....
Obviously find out what graphics card u have 1st.
1.Find out what kind u have and make sure you have the latest drivers DL onto ur system(but do not installed)
2.Goto http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?page=de ... rip&menu=0 and DL Detonater R.I.P
3.Uninstall both drivers via Mycomputer/system tasks then 'add or remove programs'
4.After restart Run Detonater R.I.P and make sure that every trace of the Nvidia 56.72 is deleted(except the install file u DL)
5.Reinstall the Correct Driver for your Graphics card, that SHOULD sort u out.

If u dont remove ALL componants left behind by the Nvidia Driver it will frequently Blue screen ur PC. However if your graphics card is Nvidia, then your only reinstalling the same driver.....so u will be fine. If your Graphics card is ATI you REALLY REALLY need to get rid of the Nvidia drivers.

Let me know how u get on, if u need any more help just ask!
