    This is a default setting and will save some temps from cleaning.

    Thanks for your help with that. It seems to have taken care of the "temp" folder problem. Since my driver disk did not work in Windows 7, I had to download the driver from Nvidia's web site. Now I have the problem that I can't uninstall certain Nvidia programs that I don't want. I have come to hate Nvidia. It is so hard to deal with. It's like working with an Adobe program -- it just does all kinds of crap you don't want it to do. My next video card will not be a Nvidia if I can help it.

    Anyway, I appreciate the help.

    You're welcome and glad to hear that helped with the temp folder.

    You might want to mark this thread closed solved, and create a new thread in the Graphic Cards forum.
    Posting there with a new thread title will probably get better help for the new issue.
