including laptops ?

ya right

#2.1 AJAJ on 15 May 2004 - 17:26

Actually yeah. Works perfectly with my laptop and corrects a standby error in older drivers.

#2.2 Sincere009 on 15 May 2004 - 20:21

Yeah man, i couldn't believe it myself
I've got a Geforce FX5300 in my laptop, and after installing this driver i could finally play Far Cry at medium detail in stead of low.
Who knows, maybe the next beta will take us to high detail ...

Anywayz, this driver roxxx !

Does it fix the desktop icons bug where all the desktop icons change to the default XP ones?

#3.1 ^vøødøø on 15 May 2004 - 16:48

Are you sure thats a bug?
Try this in Control panel/Folder options/View and disable Launch folder windows in a seperate process having that enable can and does revert icons back to default sometimes

#3.2 stevan on 15 May 2004 - 19:12

actually mine's disabled but whenever I rename the icons on winxpsp1 desktop, they revert to the default name.

#3.3 Almighty1 on 16 May 2004 - 10:15

That problem was fixed with 60.72 and later drivers.

Kinda miss installing beta Nvidia drivers since i got my 9800XT

#4.1 Gism0 on 15 May 2004 - 20:11

aww, since i'm such a nice guy here's what i'll do.

i'll send you my nvidia TNT2 32MB card for your 9800XT, that way you can install those drivers!!

#4.2 dougkinzinger on 16 May 2004 - 22:07

Sounds like a fair trade

#5 Avi on 15 May 2004 - 21:18

Verified to work correctly. Thank you.

i really don't get the nvidia drivers, when i check the driver version that i am using in my properties, says i have 6.14.something, but this one is a totally different number.

i have a geforce fx go5200

#6.1 skaife on 15 May 2004 - 23:55

Yeah that's right. It should be something along the lines of 6.14.10.6112.
The numbers that you're looking for are the 6112 at the end -- hence 61.12 drivers.

Don't ask me what the other numbers' significance is though...

(2 replies) #7 CoLdFuSi0n on 16 May 2004 - 02:29

can you use these drivers on desktops or just laptops?

#7.1 Avi on 16 May 2004 - 03:55

It works great for desktops (verified here).

#7.2 CoLdFuSi0n on 16 May 2004 - 06:28

great thanks

#8 DirtyLarry on 16 May 2004 - 07:19

installed and uninstalled after no mare than 15 minutes of trying them out... i got over a 25 fps DECREASE in unreal tournament 2004... since that is right now my game of choice, that was literally all i needed to see... i got rid of the suckers right away upon seeing that... now i can only hope and pray the official ones dont do the same exact thing

#9 905punk on 16 May 2004 - 10:48

before using Forceware i couldnt run anything in 640x480 or 800x600 i had to use 1024x768 , which was find for cs and halo....but i couldnt play Diablo II in that (800x600 ma

, after installing these drivers everything worked fine

(was getting Sync. Out of Range error)

#10 slapnuts_ox on 16 May 2004 - 19:56

personally i'd wait since in a review nvidia gave them 65.xx drivers to use so these are probably a good bit older

(1 reply) #11 toadeater on 16 May 2004 - 20:14

Raised my card's idle temps by 6 degrees.

#11.1 Jdawg683 on 17 May 2004 - 01:22

dang... 6 degrees by drivers? never heard of such a thing... are you sure it's not ambient temps?

#12 campincarl on 19 May 2004 - 06:44

i think i will wait until they are official
