Hello experts! As someone who does not change video drivers very much, I
wanted to get your inputs on the best way to change nvidia drivers?
I am currently using a 4 year old system with windows ME (I know I should
change this OP or better yet build a new system) with a 866Mhz P3. My old
video card is a Leadtek GTS2 (32Mb) and I just upgraded from driver 30.82 to
45.23 only because of Myst IV needed something to support direct x 9.0c and
required better than 30.82. (I do realize that driver 45.23 does not
support direct x 9.0c, but it works). I did try the latest 61.76 but had
problems with the blue screen of death.
Any way, nvidia says to uninstall the drivers through the control panel,
reboot into a standard VGA mode and then install whatever driver you choose
and reboot again. Is this how all of you do it or do you just install the
driver while in windows and reboot?
Also, if you don't mind, what is the difference in driver versions 30.xx vs
40.xx vs 50.xx and now 60.xx of is there a summary sheet of this posted in
general.
Thanks for your input.
