[harsaphes]

anyone else have a problem with this driver?...went to the website today and downloaded this...i have the 8800gts..no go, freezes my rig at the xp startup screen. Doesnt matter how i uninstall it..control panal, or from uninstall in driver window.

 

[!gOtVolTage!]

XP 32bit...First ive herd of that problem with Xp32bit .Ive had no problems with mine but im running X64bit Xp...Have you tried uninstalling driver and then shut down Pc and Reseat your vidcard and make shure you power Pci E connector are fully seated then reinstalling driver....worth a shot ,i had a 8600Gts Not load into windows in X64bit but my 8800GTS had no issue at all with 158.22 ..What this does is reinitializes the vid card when you take it out and put it back in!

Make shure your DX9c is up to date,Ive read of some problems of 8800series cards under Xp 32bit and 64 bit where an outdated Dx9c (could cause )Windows to act wierd under the 158.22 and the 158.19 which both drivers i have used with No Problem yet .

Hope this helps

No problem for me. WinXP 32-bit, 8800GTS 640.

Try this: uninstall the old driver, reboot, click cancel to any popup that detects a new piece of hardware, and install the 158.22 driver. Reboot. If your computer hangs like you said at this point, reboot into Safe Mode and change the resolution and refresh rate if applicable. Then try rebooting normally.

I know when you install a new driver, it resets the resolution to be very low, so I dunno, maybe there's a problem with that and it could be fixed by changing it in Safe Mode.
