The re-release was to fix a bug with direct access to the monitor settings within the nvidia control panel.

*Removed the Direct Access functionality from the driver user interface.

Linux version?

Also, For Counter-Strike: Source, would HDR work now? I have a GeForce MX 440. I know It sucks. :laugh:

There is a pinned thread for just this very sort of thing.

that thread is a bad idea, there was a discussion on that topic, plus the list is out of date. cats 6.1 came out about 2-3 weeks ago

[Gabnoj]

Uhh..

Yeah, just like everyone has been saying, and its not a BETA...

^^ I suspect that changelog is including the December release changes.

The re-release was to fix a bug with direct access to the monitor settings within the nvidia control panel.

*Removed the Direct Access functionality from the driver user interface.

Looks to me like there was just this change in this February release.

I will so not bother to download this one for that fix. :)

What was nVidia's problem calling this 81.99? :rolleyes:

"Re-release" a driver over a month later without changing the version. Clever. It will never confuse, nVidia.

[Crazysah]

Thanks for the heads up!

I totally agree with you on that. A bug fix should warrant at least a xx.x1 change to the driver number. Worthless download to almost everyone.

After installing the latest 81.98_forceware_winxp2k_english_whql.exe, I opened my Adobe PhotoShop and realised this (screenshot) problem .. how do I fix this?

[Slimy]

What exactly does the whql part mean? I think I'll update for the hell of it.

edit: nvm, the last version had it too :o

[L3thal Veteran]

What exactly does the whql part mean?

Windows Hardware Quality Labs, which means its verified to be 100% compatible with Windows.

[Slimy]

^ Haha what a joke. Last version gave me errors that it wasn't compatible with windows xp :p

[L3thal Veteran]

That happens once in a while, but hey, WHQL just means Microsoft certified them, nothing more nothing less.
