Thanks, that was it! Reverting back to 378 seemingly solves my issues, had problems with 380+ drivers. Hope Nvidia fixes this as time goes on.

After using my 1080 for two weeks (Gigabyte G1 Gaming), yesterday after a bootup I noticed that the card only sends out signal on one of the display ports (it has 3 DP, 1 HDMI). No matter how many displays are plugged in, signal is only sent to one port, o matter how the displays are plugged in...

Hola, I have several Windows computers in my network, and a 10.4 Ubuntu server for shared folders. All worked well, until Win7 computer got recently attacked by a rootkit (ZeroAccess/Sirefef). After much effort, I was able to clean it off. I got my networking working, and I'm able to see the...

Hola, I have a very annoying problem - Win7's LCD power save mode, after a few minutes, gets constantly disrupted by an application. As this happens with detached mouse and keyboard, I think a process might be the culprit. But how can I know, analyse which one? Are there "usual suspects"? Is...

Thanks for all the replies. By disconnecting the two case fans (as they were pretty useless in this setup) and some optimizing now I get around ~40W idle - I don't think I could go down more without sacrificing too much. It's actually pretty good for this system, probably thanks to the energy...

Hola, I have a server (E5200 + GA-G41M-ES2L + 2 HDDs) – naturally in this case, speed is much less important than power consumption. So I thought it would be a good idea to toy around voltages: I whipped out my cheap power consumption meter, and entered the BIOS. I found very little usable...

Thanks! Does this mean that windows (and thus apps by default) will always use the one with lower metric if it's available?

Hi, I have a Win7 desktop computer which has both a wi-fi and a cabled connection. I want the wi-fi connection to be used by one application only (virtualbox) while the other apps should use the cabled one. How could I do that easily? (I have Comodo firewall and tried to use the Network Zones...

As I wrote, I tried vanilla 32bit and 64bit versions of the RC, and a stripped down RC

Hi all, I've been trying to install Win7 on my computer without success. During install, either during extraction or during the reboot and completing installation, the installer simply shuts down the computer to a hibernation-like stage, while the CD reader is spins and stops and spins...

My girlfriend said his PC died today, after several times of motherboard-beep-filled shutdowns. Even after a CMOS reset, the motherboard now won't turn on (only for a nanosecond, also spinning up the CPU and PSU fan, so I presume these two are okay, as is the motherboard itself). I suspected...

There is no options in display properties to set that... (only one monitor is displayed, no One/Two numbered). Only nview detects that two monitors are attached. And even if I set my monitors to span in nview, it only offers to set one resolution...

Hola, Right now I have a 22' TFT monitor, and a 19' CRT lying around. I thought I could hook them up as a dual screen setup, but the results were not really good.. I have an nvidia 9600GT graphics card, and tried to set things up trough it's nview app. Is it really impossible to set the...

My first thought was spyware. Check your system with softwares like SpyBot S&D and AdAware. Also, try to search for redundant or non-existent program installations with CCleaner, or with relevant plugins of X-Setup. (but even this would not explain the black areas..)

Hi there all... here's my prob :) I have a non-localized English version of XP, wich I've updated with a localized (hun) MUI Pack. After the install, in the regional settings, I could set the language of panels and menus to hungarian, but in the Special tab there (lang. for non-unicode...
