nvidia 52.15 drivers / windows icons


Recommended Posts

Hi,

i don't seem to be the only one with this prob, so i'm asking here if someone have an idea...

when you install nvidia drivers 52.16, if you have changed any of your My computer, my documents, recycle bin, or start menu icons, it will revert them back to the original XP ones, if you change them and reboot, it will revert back...

i can"t manage to have my icons customized when using those drivers,

if someone have an idea, or know what to remove in order to have this working plz tell me

Thx

just go by the default icons, and you've got no probs :ninja: :D :p

I'm sorry, I can't help ya, I got the default icons and the latest nvidia drivers, so I cannot tell if my (default) icons are replaced by (other) default icons.

sure lol, but i dont want the default ones...and even after rebuilding icons etc... it reset them back, i go in iconpackager, changes them do a switch user or anything else and bang..they go default!

thats boring...im back at 4xxx drivers...but these new ones works sooo good i want em :D

just email nvidia and see what they can do for you.

if it's not working with some apps like tweakui or other icon-(re)building tools......

or try to search google for this issue you're facing

and the new 52.16 drivers are awesome! I wouldn't trade them in for the 4x.xx drivers!

Damn, that is wild. I had custom icons and they reverted back to default. I never thought of linking it to the Nvidia drivers. :huh:

I have 2 nearly identical computers. My main has the new drivers and now default icons, my 2nd has the omegas and keeps the custom icons. That is odd? :blink:

custom icons work on my end fine with the 52.16's...

not sure if somebody already suggested it, but do a clean install of your drivers (meaning use add/remove, run driver cleaner, etc.) and then install the 52.16's fresh... the reason i suggest this is like i said i am not having any problems with my icons at all, and i also just reformatted my drive last week and went right to the 52.16's and i have also seen other people say their icons are also not effected...

to be on the safe side my exact process after i formatted was i installed the 52.16's, (other driver and app installations in between), and then customized my icons. so to be safe you might want to set your icons back to default, remove the current nvidia drivers clean, install the 52.16's, then customize your icons again..

a truly clean install of the drivers and you should be fine... good luck

You know... that makes sense. After installing those drivers it happened to me, but I never thought to check the driver... just assumed it was something else!! I downloaded the 52.70's last night, am gonna install them today and see if it works for me. :D

bah fck!

almost 2 hours spent on that and its still not working! i tried everything you said...they keep reseting! :( tryed with all 5xxx version same stuff, damn i want to use em but icons first! i hope nvidia does something, its starting to be boring, specially cuz those drivers are damn good! :(
