detonator 40 drivers

[killingspree]

i just installed the new detonator 40 drivers... and as far as i see they work perfect! and the performance boost IS definitely there...
just ONE problem:
the nvidia specific register under display properties/ advanced is somehow buggy and crashes!
does anybody else have this problem or know a solution for it

a) the drivers are told to produce roblems with TV out. I don't use TVout so i can't verify this.

b) READ THE GUIDES!
Nvidia clearly states HOW to install the driver!

c) Since you don't go to read the guid as else you wouldn't have asked:

1: go to system/software and uninstall the drivers.
2: reboot your machine as requested.
3: install the new drivers again
4: reboot as requested
5: finally, you're done and have a working control panel.

d) ALWAYS uninstall the old driver before installing a new one. I think Nvidia sets emphasis on this by writing it in HUGE letters everywhere.

deinstall the driver, reboot, reinstall the driver

on some machines you need to remove all nv*.* files from your Windows\System32 directory before reinstalling the driver. Do this in Safe Mode.

Nvidia 40.41 drivers enable macrovision by default, so one can't watch movies in tv-out.

To desable see the thread i made in the pchardware forum:

Now that's weird. I have a gf4 mx 440 and it had MV even with older drivers. Of course, I only use the TV as a fullscreen device :D, therefore no problems.

40.41 drivers work perfect for me. Their biggest advantage: overscan controls.

[rui]

Herske, that's the trick :), enabling the second output as fullscreen. But since it isn't enabled by default, some people are having problems to see tv-out.

I dunno but Quake 3 and Jedi look real ugly with these drivers so i went back to 30.82 :mad:

[killingspree]

thanks for all your helpful posts about the video out. never was the topic of this post though, and i think i never wrote about it in the first palce!
but anyway: i did all the uninstalling rebooting and new installing and it did not help s***
i also removed all the nv*.* files... didn't help a bit either
but well anyway... i guess i'll be going back to the 30. something drivers...

PS... oh yea... and koepi: do you get some kind of a kick out of telling other people how dumb they are? no offence... just wondering!

[Koepi]

killingspree:

you didn't follow the procedure nvidia tells you to go.

So i must assume that you didn't read it.

Sinc you come _here_ to ask for it, you shouldn't insult me, but just do what I wrote.

If you still fail to get those drivers to work, head over to nvidia.

This board isn't about nvidia, just in case you didn't notice.

What should I tell you?

Yes, now that you answered this way, I get a kick. And this is a real nice strike for YOU :)

If i was you guys, i would drop the detonator drivers and give these a chance...

I have been using this persons drivers since my Voodoo card...

www.omegacorner.com

OmegaDrive takes the drivers nvidia makes and makes them better. Personally I love these things:)

Newho - his lates release is based off of the 30.82 set I believe.

But you should check them out, i think that you'll like what you see...

Mrafrohead :devil:

I second this. I have been using the Win9x version of omega drivers, and while i have read some opinions against them (mainly because of aliasing), i love them. No need for anisotropic filtering.

Sorry to killingspree for keeping off topic, but i had to post this.

[killingspree]

this thread is not really going anywhere, perhaps i'm even going to get suspendet for citicizing koepi.

We have discovered that you have violated forum rule #4 in one of your posts (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?postid=175976). If you violate the forum rules 1 more times you will be suspended for 30 days.

got that in my mailbox (:

well i guess that's the usual moderator <-> user relationship (:

anyway
for all konstruktive posts:
thanks for your help! it's greatly appreciated!

[Koepi]

interesting enough that you didn't read the rule which that is about.
Maybe you'd realize that i treid to help you, and you insulted me.

And now again?

Now you really proof to be as dumb as your write above there.

Very annoyed,
Koepi

PS: at least you have a high important thread about non-DVD/ripping/encoding issues.

[killingspree]

well i think the only way to deal with this is not to answer at all!

(:

PS: just to show i READ the rule(s)

4) Be nice to each other and respect the moderator. Profanity and insults will not be tolerated. If you have a problem with another member turn to the respective moderator and if the moderator can't help you send a private message to Doom9.

Yeah, i used to use omegas drivers for my Voodoo too (a long time ago). But i didn't know he also tweaked detonator drivers, so i haven't used them ever since.
I'm gonna try them right now.

[Mrafrohead]

BTW - he also makes drivers for ATI cards too...

for those of you that use those things:)
