Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia (More info?)

BFG 6800gt pci-e
ABI Fata1ity mobo
1gb ram
blah blah nice stuff

I downloaded the newest driver from the nvidia website and the
Forceware from fleplanet.com. I tried to play a video and it was very
pixelaed and almost in a negative view. very bright and distorted. I
uninstalled all the drivers and the video was fine. I reinstalled them
and the video was back to what it was before, very gross. Can someone
help??

Same problem here, with a Dell OEM 6800 GT after installing the new drivers
from NVIDIA's website. Can't seem to fix it through software (unless
uninstall)...
