OK got them installed(I did remove the old ones first and rebooted and deleted Nvidia folder) and got a message saying old drivers detected on system still but I went ahead and things are fine,played some games like Q3A,TFC online,UT etc & didn`t have any problems,also the NVRefreshTool fix still works ok .

So far they`re solid for me.

TTT.

 

[optimistic]

Page is slow as a mofo.

I still get the Page_fault_error 0x00000050 with these drivers. I have tried all of the beta and official drivers and still get this error. It is NOT a driver Problem, it is NOT a hardware issue, it is for me at least a WinXP SP1 issue....never had this problem until SP1 came along...

Oh, but other than that they seem fine. No difference for me from the 43.00's and 43.03's. :frown:

Shagga,
I too have XP with SP1 installed,however no problems with any Nvidia drivers and that combo,you`re probably better off reinstalling XP and SP1 and see if that clears it up.

Driver install went without a hitch. uninstalled the old 43s from control panel and then rebooted and installed the new ones. have not run the 3dmark. i will edit post my post when i run the benchies later on to show you iff there is any improvement. BTW i have a geforce4 TI4200 8x and WIndows XP Pro SP1

UPDATE: my PC gets about 50 more points in 3dmark2003 even after i put it back to default clocks

UPDATE: Coolbits no longer works, i wonder what my GPU clock is now

Coolbits worked for me. But these drivers are just slower than the 30.82s on my system.

 

[dbwillis]

These seem smoother for me..than 43.00..but Im using an old TNT2 Ultra....

 

[LiekOMG]

Their last official release broke TV out for me. I really hope this set fixes that problem.

 

[Uclagamer_99]

Thanks Mem, but I have done this at least 3 or 4 times but to no avail.

If you've got a graphics card with a non-macrovision compatible TV-Out encoder (most cards older than GF3) then you will not be able to watch DVDs at all, as the new drivers (and all from now on, iirc) doesn't allow DVD playing if a non-macrovision chip is detected, even if you're not using the TV-Out. The only way to get round this, is to use an older version of the drivers.


Confused

 

[rhinohide]

Is this still the registry tweak to get the "extra" settings to show up, such as clock frequencies?


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NVTweak]
"Coolbits"=dword:ffffffff
"NvCplEnableHardwarePage"=dword:00000001
"NvCplEnableAGPSettingsPage"=dword:00000001

 

[Intelman07]

Older drivers to get around the TV OUT function! NOOOO.

Well then IMHO despite what you think it is if it's not Windows + SP1 (since 1000s of people have Windows + SP1 + NV Driver Updates working, and you've tried reinstalling) it MUST be a Hardware or Driver issue. Either that or it's all in your head and it really does work. Have you tested your RAM?

[powerMarkymark]

Thanks dude.

 

[Mem]

Shagga there`s a few things you can try,minimal install of hardware,try a different Nvidia card and see if the problem still appears,also move ram to different slots,try different ram,play with BIOS settings,even try a different HD,it has to be either software or hardware problem so you just have to rule out all possible options one at a time.

I installed them yesterday, but I can't really tell any difference. I don't play 3D games too often. So, just using them to output 1600x1200@100hz to my monitor right now. Didn't cause me any problems at least. As I always do, I uninstalled the previous version before installing these.

 

[mboy]

Noticeable difference in 2d for me, havent pushed the 3d yet!
