7600 GS 512 video card problems

I have a Geforce 7600 GS 512 mb, And I have the newest drivers... But it
seems the card is set on "Performance". Whenever I go to the nvidia control
panel, I try to set it to High quality.. and it says its set on high
quality.. But in-game, nothing has changed... nothing changes no matter
what.. And if I look at the nvidia icon (The example that shows you what the
graphics should look like) Its shaded dark... and doesnt change.. Anyone
else having this issue? I've tried multiple drivers and reinstalling... AND,
Videos and stuff work fine

Re: 7600 GS 512 video card problems

Sean--

There is only one driver you have for that card and there is a choice. Which
"driver" are you using?

In my experience several people are having no trouble at all using the
generic driver that MSFT supplies on the Vista DVD that was given to them
from Nvidia. Unless you have a specific graphics app or game that requires
more functionality, it should be working fine.

I'm using one and it's overclocked, with no problems. Call Tech Support
for whomever made the video card--that's not Nvidia who as you know made the
chipset--ask them which current driver is doing the best among games and
graphics apps. They are knowledgable and usually open all the time.
