Windows Wont Load Up Properly!!!

I had been installing them from nvidia, This time (half an hour ago) I have let windows update install the drivers.
Will be interesting to see what happens.
I can't say 100% that it is the drivers, Only that after uninstalling them, then re-installing, everything works again, Which does say quite strongly it is the drivers.

Hm...I have to use the NVIDIA drivers myself...with the Windows Update drivers my flip3d is flipnoD (unless you want to wait a min)....funny how computer can be huh?

Another obvious troll thread?

hows that, sports fan?

seems like a legitimate thread to me. the only obvious thing i can tell, is that there is a problem.

johnny1000, you wouldnt happen to have a usb or external hard drive attached would you? i've read that some people have had problems like that with such hardware (granted they were on XP at the time) but it may be relevant.

As you seem to be implying, this isn't a known issue that should be well documented by now. Perhaps I've jumped the gun here, but the user's unwillingness to backup data and try another install in order to isolate the problem indicates to me that the problem doesn't exist.

But can you expect every user to have the mindset of doing this type of diagnostics? We should always try to fix things before a reformat is determined to be the best course of action...Now I am not trying to be mean but just because the OP doesn't want to drop his computer's OS in an instant to diagnose a problem that we haven't even determined is needed to reformat for...isn't that essentially shooting in the dark right there. We can't expect everyone be just as knowledgeable about problems as us...if that were so forums like this would be un-necessary. If you still feel that the OP's actions are not adequate for your help than others (like myself) will continue to assist him to the best of our ability.

couldn't have said it better myself. really i couldn't..... i was more entralled at the fact that this fellow says he doesn't use windows much, and then says that the person w/ the problem was more or less incompetent. but lets not make a flame war of this.

good show, old bean.
