FYI - new nVidia drivers
I happened to notice a minor long-time annoyance is gone in the latest
nVidia 91.31 video drivers. In RBR, some of the stages (esp France and Finland) have had visible borders in the road surface. I don't know when it was fixed, but it is gone in the 91.31 drivers. I had 81.98 before these, IIRC. So far a sampling of other games and sims look good - subjectively performance is slightly better with my 6800 Ultra. One big word of advice - avoid the standard nVidia download (worst control panel since ATI CCC), and get the Xtreme-G version and install the more traditional controls. Available at http://www.tweaksrus.com. Clearly they are trying to hide any advanced features from us stoopid users . Kendt |

The 91.33 beta drivers also fix the 'SLI Balloon Bug', that pops up a little
ad on every boot. rms |

When I try to install them I get told that they didn't find the previous drivers (5160) and so they can't install
What can i do ? Thanks -- Email contact http://cerbermail.com/?ltQ8eCFmRa |

I grabbed the tweaked drivers so I wouldn't have to muck about with coolbits. The installer gave you a choice of which interface to "install" - didn't realize that it was simply selecting which would be the default. I like the XG drivers so far - like the ATI Omegas it seems like a nicely tweaked driver set. Kendt |

Yeah, I'm not much liking the new CP either.

WooHoo!
Any other way to fix this? How the hell could that get through WHQL. Oh, wait. That's right. It's WHQL, the same 'certification' program that certified sidewinder drivers for XP, but overlooked the small issue of it stating, at install, that it does not work on 2K and above and is for W95 and W98 only LOL. -Larry "rms" > wrote in message .net... > The 91.33 beta drivers also fix the 'SLI Balloon Bug', that pops up a > little ad on every boot. > > rms > |
