Beta Nvidia Drivers

[Shooks]

I have MCE, but I want to try the XP beta drivers 84.25, so my question is, will these drivers work in MCE?

No, they won't work. Atleast I always have problems with DVI working on my Gateway 21" whenever I use the XP drivers instead of the mce drivers. It causes the monitor to hardlock whenver a DVI connection is made between the card and monitor. VGA works fine.

They won't work for you but it doesn't mean they won't work for everyone else. So this is a YMMV.

Ok, i'm going to make this as clear as humanly possible.

MCE "IS" XP. All Media Center is, is an "application" that runs on top of, and is embedded, in XP. So, yes, regular XP drivers will work fine in MCE. How do I know? I've been running MCE for like 2yrs, and never use the MCE drivers because they don't get updated nearly as often as the regular XP drivers. You should be fine installing regular XP drivers, just make sure you uninstall the old drivers first.
