which version? did you try to backtrack? v186 worked for me on windows 7

GTS 250 has firmware issues i believe. I had other graphic related issues also. But i must admit that with 190.40 it seems to work now. But this can be just a fluke.

When installed 190.34 Windowblinds went on the blink. I had to uninstall and reinstall WB before it worked again.

i tried 186.18 (the old ones which worked perfect) and 190.38 which got me into this . u said there s 190.40? ok then i ll download them and see if this works

so reinstalling was a good thing. you now know the graphic drivers are the culprit.

Good luck

thanks anyway for the input. Nothing said nothing gained.

well, first update your win version. 7100 is a bit old.
Unfortunately that means a new clean install as you can't upgrade from beta to rtm.

I'd go for it. 7100 is just way to instable compared to 7600

out of options Dodgy graphics card? Does it work properly with vista sp2?

aftertought;

Perhaps installing 190 leaves behind dll's which don't get replaced when you reinstall an older driver. If you're bored, clean install 7600 and let 7 install it's own driver. See if it works then.

if so DONT touch it anymore till the finalized drivers are out.

you mean after you installed a clean install, windows installed nvidia 190.38 by itself? AFAIK this driver is not included in the 7's default drivers...

Don't give up now, you're almost there

things to check out: driver properties, is it really 190.
do you have nvidia cpl shortcut in the desktop rightclickmenu.

With default 7 drivers installed there shouldn't be an nvidia cpl.

 

[alecsio]

well yes i have cuz last night i installed them...

well that's what i meant. Shouldn't have. Delete the graphics adaptor in Devices.msc in safe mode and reboot, if 7 itself doesn't install the driver do a New Hardware search and let 7 install it's default driver.
