New Nvidia driver problems.

[Robert]

I've recently installed the latest XP 8800 drivers and every time I try to change something in the CP I get an error report...?

Has anyone found a reg fix for this or something similar?

which driver's are you using? did you do a clean install?

Well I've installed the latest drivers from the NV for XP 158.XX - I haven't moved from ATI and yes I did a clean install. I've heard some mumblings about the problem - just wanted to be definate.

No problems at all here with the 158.22's.

Either way I'm fed up with 1xxx.xx series now, no display scalinig, crap control panel, crap support.

Crap.

Good god 97.94's were crap , as is all their 3x sets of officials for XP, mind you i suppose they would only recommend those being their last official set, but the best drivers are the beta's.

I get the same with the 158.19 and 158.22, fresh install or upgrading drivers.

Fix I have is to change the default settings before playing a game as that does not crash the CP

Crap.

Try the 100.87 driver it supports scaling and is fast-ish. The only problem is that it doesn't support SLI - you have to go back to 96.89 to support SLI and scaling.
