hmmm DAMNIT, i just installed the 2.41 today!!!

 

[XBoxLPU]

I did yesterday

I will not be installing the 2.42s. I have no problems with the IDE driver and I don't use onboard audio

From reading the 2.41 release notes.... it seems all the 2.42 drivers do is remove the IDE driver , at least I think

Wow, it looks like NVIDIA is releasing nForce drivers like they do the detonators, lol.

2.41 IDE drivers screwed up my cdrom, maybe these will work better.

UPDATE: it did, i am happy now

Schadenfroh: so which IDE driver are you using now? Since v2.42 doesn't come with an IDE driver
default MS standard IDE driver?

 

[Schadenfroh]

i guess since it is using the microsoft one now is why it is working correctly.

pah..GREAT :frown: Does this mean that nVidia actually acknowledges that there IS a problem with the IDE drivers? BTW I'm not experiencing any kinda trouble. Just curious.

Yep, the only difference with these drivers is they removed the IDE driver and the graphics drivers are WHQL

these things have graphics driver in them? did they do anything to my detanatorfx's that i already have installed?

 

[foofoo]

on my w2kpro installation the drivers...

1. did not remove the nvidia sw ide drivers
2. downgraded my video driver

i have to go back to the generic ms ide drivers manually if i run into any problems
