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

.......

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.

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*

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

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.

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:

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.

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.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.

      That's a good number until the game you want to play is not in that list.
