Direct x problem

[SinOfLiberty]

Hey guys,

Recently I have installed new nvidia drivers 270.61 for my gtx 570. Previously i have used 266.58 After an upgrade my fps dropped down. So, I decided to install 266.58 drivers back. After i did it, I opened crysis 2 and it said that there was a problem with initializing direct X9. So, what you think guys.

Thanks

Did you uninstall the 270.61 drivers before you reinstalled the 266.58 drivers?

 

[SinOfLiberty]

Yes, I uninstantiated it. There were 2 possibilities when I had to install old driver: express and custom. I chose express. Maybe i should go with custom. But i am not sure.

Yes, I think you want to go with custom and choose the "Clean Install" option which should clear out any previous drivers.

I am super anal about this and I clean out my C : \ nVidia folder of all display drivers before I do the uninstall and then I do a reboot with no drivers followed by another reboot before installing the new drivers.

problem with initializing direct X9.

Have you tried updating DirectX 9? Even as recent as 6/2010, Microsoft published an update.

 

[SinOfLiberty]

It still says about a problem

Can you run any other DirectX program like Google Earth without difficulty? How about any 3d program that may use OpenGL like Google Earth?

Yea, they work
