New NF4 Standalone Drivers 6.53

Seems no different to me.

Same here. Performance remains exactly as it was.

I gave 'em a try last night, but ended up re-installing the old drivers. After installing the new set, if I opened up a web page as soon as Windows was up, the home page would start to load, but that's about it. No BSOD's, but it appeared NAM was blocking everything. It took several attempts to get the old drivers installed again, but finally got them back in Safe Mode.

Might have to give it another go today.

You can install them w/o installing the firewall and network manager (I'm assuming that's what NAM is, if not then disregard this errant post).

The 6.53 drivers definitely fixed a networking issue I was having with Ghostcast server. The Ghostcast server PC (Nforce4) would hang during a Ghostcast session, and after installing 6.53 the issue went away.

This also happens to users who do not use Driver Cleaner. There could be any number of reasons why this might happen. One user at DFI-Streets is running a RAID array and uninstalled his nForce drivers prior updating, he also was unable to reboot. He did not use Drive Cleaner. I think the only consensus among users is that it is a driver issue. Probably WinXP not rolling back to default MS drivers after uninstalling nForce drivers. When diagnosing driver issues in WinXP, it could be so many things, it would be premature, if not unfair, to point the finger at Driver Cleaner.

My guess is also the same, that the default MS drivers were not rolled back.

HI! Im new to this forums!

I installed the new platfrom drivers to my a8n sli deluxe motherboard.
Everything works fine, but not the sound..
In the installation of nforce drivers i choosed to install the sound drivers aswell, but i think that they screwed up my sound..

So my question is, how do i get the sound fixed? Or how can i remove the drivers?

Best regards, shadox

ps sorry for my bad english

You wern't supposed to install the sound/audio portion of the package. Try running them again and uninstall the sound pac.

What's wrong with the sound drivers/audio utility? I used it on my board, no problems. My sound codec is ALC650 for reference.

Hello again!

I did a systemrestore and installed the drivers again, now without the sound drivers.
It works perfectly now!

thanks for being helpful!

Ours are ALC850

 

[Penoir]

So if we're using a motherboard with the ALC850 codec we should install the realtek drivers and not the nvidia? What's the difference?

nVidia drivers are more generic, designed to support any AC97 CODEC used (any from Realtek, C-media, etc). Realtek drivers are optimized for the CODEC on your motherboard, so you should get better results from it.
