slimy, do the official 100.54 or whatever it is work with vlc player, i havent tried those??

#2.1 Slimy on 14 Feb 2007 - 00:15

I remember some old beta drivers worked with VLC fine, but I'm not sure which ones. To fix the problme, I just revert back to the ones that come with Vista.

#3 torrentthief on 14 Feb 2007 - 00:31

yeah, but the default vista ones are very bad for me i had tearing in the top right corner of my screen, also had problem when closing the lid of my laptop, screen wouldnt come back on when i opened it again.

Another waste of a driver. Still cant use SLI with my 7950GX2

#5 Croquant on 14 Feb 2007 - 03:06

So, it's STILL Beta, still no DX10 SLI, still no WHQL. That's just super.

Has anyone else found Windows to be significantly slower since installing these (x64) drivers, compared with the previous BETAs

Have Nvidia completely forgotten about XP, there have been no new drivers since November 2nd last year!

#7.1 thunderbird_117 on 14 Feb 2007 - 10:56

Microsoft paid money to Nvidia , ATI and other companies that everything should be exclusive only for Windows Vista only. XP is dead and kicked in dustbin.

please dont start rumors if you dont know what you are talking about

#7.3 NightmarE D on 14 Feb 2007 - 21:05

If you're going to straight out lie about something, make it more believable.

If that were true and known publicly, Microsoft would be in all kinds of deep poo right now. Stop trying to spread BS.

Troll elsewhere

Feel sorry for me no XP drivers for Geforce Go 7 series since 5th July and no Vista drivers (probably wont be well atleast I don't expect them as Nvidia are too busy with the 8 series and the rest of the desktop drivers...)

One way to get video screen to show up in VLC:
Go to Preferences -> Video -> Output Modules -> Check the 'Advanced options' checkbox -> Select one module that works from the now appeared 'Video Output module' list

You might need to restart VLC after that.

At least for me the 'Windows GDI video output' module works.

I don't use VLC anymore in Vista, too many issues like pixelated screen.

I find KMPlayer to be very nice alternative (or replacement).
