Re: Help!!!!!

Hi skunksmash,

Yeah, I would never use divice drivers from Windows Update, only directly from the manufacturer's website.

Try this to see if you can roll back to the video card driver you had before.

1. Open Device Manager
2. Expand Display adapters
3. Double click on your video card device to open it's properties window
4. Click on the Driver tab.
5. Click on the Roll Back Driver button.
6. Approve any prompts.

You may be asked to restart the computer afterwards.

If this does not help, then see if downloading the latest drivers from Nvidia and installing them will help out.

Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers

Hope this helps,
Shawn
