   Screw Nvidia.
  I am become a hardcore ATI fan. At least, I am become a hardcore hater of Nvidia. Their software sucks, hands down.I cannot convince the 45.23 drivers to let me use horizontal spanning mode on my dual monitors, which means I can''t play a certain game on both monitors. Believe me, I''ve done everything - disabled Dualview, uninstalled the various devices from the hardware manager and resintalled them, uninstalled the drivers and used various file-cleaner utilities to abolish them forever, reinstalled the drivers, and on and on. No joy.Then the POS software decides that my menu display pause absolutely must be 0 ms... which of course causes a severe problem in Windows 2003 due to a bug in csrss.exe. I can manually edit the setting all I want, even create registry files and merge them on logon - but no, the sonofabitch has to set it back to 0, for no reason at all. Disabling nView has no effect. Disabling/toggling every available option has no effect - at least not in the 100-odd combinations I''ve tried. Using 3rd-party hacked drivers doesn''t fix the problem.But, magically, if I uninstall the nVidia drivers and run using the default VGA driver in Windows, the problem goes away.Of course, there''s always the reason why I''m using 42.53 to begin with, instead of 53.03 ... because nVidia won''t admit that their hopeless drivers cause lockups when playing Punkbuster-enabled games (read: Enemy Territory, which consumes about 50% of my gaming time these days).nVidia can stuff their shitty drivers right back where they came from. There''s no way in hell ATI can be worse than this. ATI may not have earned me, but nVidia definitely lost me.</rant>. I''m here all week.

  okay ;  I''ve actually not had a problem with the drivers, although I''m not on Windows 2003.  Are you using the 64 bit version, because they don''t actually have drivers for the 32 bit version.   ;  The 2k/XP drivers for basically everything work fine under 2003. Besides, I had similar problems when I was still running 2000; they''ve just become a lot more noticeable after I set up my dual monitors.   PiQ Software  -  Tiny KeyCounter  -  Freon 2/7 Raytracing Accelerator;  I haven''t had any problems with duel monitors or punkbuster enabled games with my nvidia card. I haven''t tried them both together, but I played Operation Flashpoint on two monitors. ;  The FX series as I understand it does not suffer from the problem. My Ti4800 SE, however, does. I understand that the 53.03 drivers really don''t add anything in terms of performance, but even if they do fix some of the annoyances, I can''t use them anyways.And now the nView menu item (on the desktop context menu) shows up under the New submenu instead of being its own submenu branch the way it used to. This is absolutely pathetic.
