didnt know there was one. im looking now thou

edit, DLed the reg file, but ive never worked with the registry all that much, how do i add a file?

I think its for the SLI balloon but it doesnt hurt to try! Just double click it to execute it. Done!

 

[renswic]

well, it works for non SLi as well no more popup for me


side note, what a bitch move by nvidia, its bad enough that i cant afford SLi but they have to include a friggn poppup telling me that?!

Ya I got this too, and after the restart it comes back. The reg file does work, but for the average joe I think Nvidia needs to fix this. I also noticed I can't get the nvidia icon to stay hidden in the taskbar even though I unselect it. As soon as you restart it comes back. I think Nvidia needs to fix these issues.


EDIT: The link to the reg file for other people.

or how about when you try to get rid of their software on the tray.. it pops up IE and takes you to a sli advertisement.... these drivers well... suck.

Agreed.

And they were doing so well with the Forceware 80 release.

I like how in that NVIDIA answer section some one linked, the answer is available if the question involves you having SLi. And not answered - at least adequately -, for the same problem, if you don't.

So, if you have SLi you can patch your reg. If you don't you just have to wait... Except not really


Oh well, annoying but at least there's a fix.
