fr33k Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 (edited) what is MCE? there are two folders for the 91.31 drivers MCE dated june 22nd 40.34 MB ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/mce/91.31/91.31_winxp2kmce_english_whql.exe and just 91.31 dated june 5th 32.15 MB ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/91.31/91.31_forceware_winxp2k_english.exe I downloaded and installed the larger mce version because that's what was given through the website. first I get a nag that I don't have SLI and I should go learn more about it. I never had SLI ever, so how could I remove one? so I unchecked "don't show the tray Icon" anymore to see if the nag would go away, and rebooted. now back at the desktop the tray icon loads and the nag appears twice, so I rebooted again, BUT the computer won't boot now. all it does is just sit and spin at the boot screen. I pressed the reset button, and now I get the your computer is screwed and you can boot into safe mode, or try normal windows again. I tried normal windows again, but got the same thing. all it would do is just sit at the boot screen but no hard drive activity. I pressed the reset again, and tried the load the last know good config link, but still got the sit and spin bootscreen. I was worried, and tried safe mode, and uninstalled the graphics drivers, but still couldn't boot. again just sit and spin. booted to safe mode again, and this time installed 91.28 drivers which I keep the install files in the windows dir. FINALY I'm back to the desktop. the tray icon is there but the nag is gone thank god. 91.31 are the worst drivers I have ever seen. what do they expect that everyone is going to run out and buy another graphics card so they won't be nagged that they arn't running two cards anymore? THIS IS BS. I paid alot of money for my one 7800 GT, and can't afford to just go out and buy another one just so I won't be nagged like that :angry: and what was the deal with not letting me get to the desktop? Is that part of the you don't have SLI, so go buy another card and your computer will boot fine? The last working NVIDIA Graphics Driver 91.28 ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/91.28/ how do you spell you don't have SLI nag relief? ATI?

Rogue` Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 ....... MCE = MediaCentre Edition the drivers say 'xp2kmce' which means they are compatable with MCE, XP and 2000. If you are that bothered about getting a SLi msg each time you turn your computer on, use older drivers....its not nagging you to go out and buy another one, it is just letting you know SLi has been disabled, its a bug jeez. Someone mentioned a way to stop it from poping up, did you try it? - I'm currently on 91.31beta's from nvzone, think i will stick with these seeing as the only difference is that these are whql'd.

acetken Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Wait a few releases. They'll get it right. At least they're not hogs like ATI's new panel. Also unlike ATI it's a bloody good thing that they let you use the much-preferred old panel. T'was the reason I upgraded my X800 to a 7900 GT TOP Edition. Stupid ATI drivers... *grumble grumble* Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/472713-forceware-9131-whql-released/page/2/#findComment-587636023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fr33k Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Hi GenesisOmega Thank you for the reg key, but after not being able to boot untill I installed the older 91.28 driver overwriteing the newer 91.31. I have no plans on installing any new nvidia drivers soon. The nag popup was bad enough to roll back, but the boot problem scared me :| for those who arn't having boot problems use the reg key so you don't feel the hate. and lets all hope this isn't a new trend wga notify nag: you're a pirate nvidia notify nag: you don't have SLI Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/472713-forceware-9131-whql-released/page/2/#findComment-587636076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
6785077276 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Anyone know of a coolbits reg file that works properly with this? Only auto overclocking is enabled in the control panel. I don't really like the new control panel, much prefer the previous one. :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/472713-forceware-9131-whql-released/page/2/#findComment-587636173 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBear5587 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 This is ridiculous. We should be able to remove the stupid popup through the Control Panel. I just have one 6800GT, I don't want to be nagged..

L3thal Veteran Posted June 24, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 24, 2006 Yeah, I uploaded the reg file here Thanks (Y) These drivers are running good for me, except the popup about SLI which I will use the reg key provided above to remove it. Nonetheless, the new control panel is not of my liking so I changed it back to classic.

Xab Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 So wait, this SLI popup box is only for those who aren't running SLI? Or is it happening for people who are? I have SLI and I'm wondering if it will affect me.

deranger Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Wow, this is the worst release ever of nv's drivers IMO The new control panel is horrible, i cant find anything and the layout is ugly and very annoying. The stupid SLI pop-up is annoying and pointless, and for some reason , whene i hook up my TV so i can watch a movie from my pc , it stretches the picture to fit the TV screen, something that the former drivers didnt do, and i can't seem to find an option to change that (i want it to display the original aspcet ratio) :blink: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/472713-forceware-9131-whql-released/page/2/#findComment-587637483 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have SLI and I'm wondering if it will affect me. Its happening for non-SLI members because they don't have SLI running so I assume it won't show up for you since you are in SLI mode.

L3thal Veteran Posted June 26, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2006 Why does nView always show up on my tray? I specifically unchecked it under control panel options and it still pops up every time I restart. Anyone know how to prevent it from loading?
