Trying to get a miner up and running for bitcoin etc, having issues running things like Cudaminer.exe, opens for less than a second and closes. Went to check out Cuda Toolkit 5.5 from nvidia, and it errored saying something along the lines of "You don't have nvidia drivers, why are you trying to install this you moron?" So, went to open my Nvidia Control Panel, and got the error, "Nvidia display settings are not available. An Nvidia graphics card was not detected on your system." I JUST installed new drivers from them LAST night. No joke. Tried to check for an update again today and the program to detect drivers on their site couldn't even help me. I can provide more info, just let me know what would help.

I wasn't aware that Nvidia cards were any good for mining.

They definitely aren't the best, but I'm just looking for a little extra money while I sleep or spend the day out, ya know? Some is better than none.

I'm just wondering if the mining software is what's screwed up your drivers.

Well, since the nvidia control panel itself isn't even recognizing the nvidia drivers, it's not just the miner.

Control panel is part of the driver so if the driver has gone belly up...

I was really hoping that wasn't going to be the answer. Literally got this lenovo two days ago FFS.

I don't know if it is but I would remove that software and the go to the Lenovo site and download the the VGA driver if that's a laptop.
