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.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. Look it up and keep it. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
