Asus 8600GT + GamerOSD = Help


I posted this over at Asus forums awhile back with out any response, may be someone here can help.

I am having problems with GamerOSD software, when I install the Asus video drivers computer reboots OK then I install GamerOSD and computer reboots my login screen comes up and I enter my password and then it just sits at the loading screen.

If I go into safe mode computer boots no problems, I tried using msconfig to stop GamerOSD from starting at boot but that does not help, the only reason I can think of is that GamerOSD installed an enhanced driver under device manager which is probably causing the system not to boot.

I don’t really want to use GamerOSD but with out it I don’t get splendid option in my display properties which I like since my PC is used as a media center and splendid does make movies and TV tuner look better. Any help would be appreciated.

Uninstall GamerOSD, and just use the drivers from Nvidia's website. They have the digitial vibrance control in them, that makes everything including games brighter.

I never installed that extra ASUS junk with my 640MB ASUS 8800GTS.

Always use the nvidia drivers right from nvidia's site. Never use the ones they ship with the video cards.

Thank you for your replies,
Splendid is not like digitial vibrance control, it is a special video overlay that works very good I used it in XP before. I use my PC as a media center and movies and TV are more important than games for me so I don’t care if I get less frame rates with Asus drivers.
