Some things to note. Newer nVidia drivers aren't certified, because they change so often, nVidia only certifies every so often at major steps. Almost all of them will work anyway, they just don't have the MS seal of approval guarantying (sp, hmm) that they will. Also, if you have XP, you will find that you can't just re-install DX. I couldn't find it anywhere to do it, as it is integral to XP, not an additional component. If you don't have XP, I recommend going to it. A drive change probably will fix it, if it isn't hardware. Make sure to change your video to Standard VGA, reboot, then change to the new drivers and reboot. It'll prevent overlap. I never do, but I update to update, not to fix anything [img]smile.gif[/img]
