Nvidia drivers 43.00 first casualty

[barureddy]

I have to regretfully say the the 43.00 drivers from nvidia, has screwed up the display on my system. Ever since installing the drivers, I have noticed parts of my screen flickering every few seconds. Suspecting it is a dying monitor I tried a roommate's monitor to no avail. Just out of curosity, I booted into linux to make sure it is not just a windows thing. Sure enought there was no flicker under kde3.1 with the latest nvidia linux drivers.

So it seems that even though these drivers made my screen look sharper and made my games play faster and smoother, it made my desktop screen run horribly with a constant flicker. Thus it had to go since I did most of my work on the desktop.

I am running the 43.00 drivers with Directx 9.0 on my P4 rig(see sig) with not one problem.

What sort of rig are your running the drivers on?

I to have the P4T53-C and am running a Gforce 4 ti2200 (128mb) and Mine runs fine with the 43.00 drivers. Are you sure it's just not a "refresh rate" issue? Try upping the HZ on your monitor. That may do the trick.

I have a dell M991 19" monitor and I changed the refresh rate from 65HZ to 100HZ and my monitor is PERFECT now! Just a suggestion! Good Luck!

I figured out what is wrong. Kazaa lite 2.1, when displaying results from a search causes the flashes. The reason that they were consistant was that I had kazaa lite doing automatic search more. Even when minimized, the searches still cause the flashes.

I would strongly recommend that you reduce your refreshrates to 85hz. I too have that monitor and strongly recommend that you don't leave it at those rates long for the risk of damaging the monitor. The monitor is not ment to handle those rates.

An even better idea would be to remove the spyware/user installed virus known as *peer-to-peer flavor of the week*. And in the future, try to remember not blame legitimate software before first checking personally installed spyware/virus programs.

God, what people will do so that they can listen to crappy sounding Mp3's...

I will agree with you in that Mp3 are not the greatest. I'm waiting for the flac (free lossless codec) to mature and become main stream. Kazaa lite and kazaa are 2 different programs. Kazaa lite is based on kazaa with spyware removed and several features to ehance the experience.
