Nvidia driver 185.85 not working with RivaTuner in Vista x64

[zagood]

Installed new nV (185.85) drivers, received some errors with profiles, and the "No supported drivers" message.

Workaround explained here:

1. Open <Power User> tab
2. Press <Open database> button
3. Browse for RivaTuner.rtd database file (located in the application root folder)
4. Expand <System> node
5. Ensure that <Hexadecimal display> button is NOT pressed (otherwise 18585 will be treated as a hexadecimal value instead of decimal one)
6. Double click <ForceDriverVersion>
7. Enter 18585

My launcher/scheduler settings worked fine after doing this.

This also worked for the 186.18 drivers. Thanks for the tip. :thumbsup:

This angers me. You shouldn't have to anything at all...the drivers should just work!
