Driver/Texture problem
« on: August 28, 2006, 11:05:46 PM »
Hi, I have been having this weird texture problem for awhile now. I think it started when I downloaded the latest nvidia drivers.
Here is a pic of it: http://i4.tinypic.com/25z3r6g.jpg
This was with an old driver I downloaded to see if it would fix but instead it got worse, the latest driver version has it too except much smaller in size. Some of my programs seem to be crashing now and I think it has something to do with this problem also. I dont have much of an idea as to what exactly the problem is. Could someone please help? :)

Edit: Got another pic of the problem when its really bad  http://i7.tinypic.com/25zh7cj.jpg

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200
4k DDR-SDRAM

Driver Installation Hints

 
"Download Accelerator" utilities should be disabled when downloading any drivers.


Do not run virus protection software in the background while installing the drivers. This prevents the driver from configuring itself properly.


Before installing new drivers make sure you uninstall all NVIDIA display drivers from the Windows Control Panel. Browse to the Start Menu > Windows Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and search for "NVIDIA Windows Display Drivers" or "NVIDIA Display Drivers" and select remove






Is the below driver link the one you used?


Prior to installing these drivers did you uninstall all Nvidia drivers from your operating system?
