Alright, I bought a 7900GT KO Superclocked back in April last year but it had a faulty SKU causing massive Artifacting. I sent it in for replacement last month when the card finally melted. I received the replacement a few days ago but there were some changes from my old one to this new one namely the core speeds. My old 7900GT was 550/1580 and my new one was 560/1510 but I overclocked it to 1580. In terms of performance, which card is better?
Anyways, when I was installing the new card, it asked for a nVidia All-in-One Driver Pack disk... one that never came with my original card. I had an old Driver Pack disk from my first 6800GT. In order to install the new card, I had to stick in a disk and that was the only one I had. I assume so, but could the problems described (in this entire post) be caused from installing my new 7900GT using my old 6800GT's Driver Pack disk?
I had the Drivers from my old 7900GT on my computer so I used the newest one I had and updated my new card to that Driver. When I finally got the card installed, I manually updated the Driver using my old card's Drivers but during the updating, it asked me if I wanted to over-write any of the previous files. I clicked yes to every single one. Should there be a problem with using my old 7900GT's Drivers for my new one even though they are (supposedly) both 7900GT KO Superclocked?
**Note**
My 6800 was from XFX and my 7900 is from eVGA.
Also...
Yesterday I played Supreme Commander for about an hour in the morning before I had to go to town. When I got back I tried to start it up but I got this Error Message:
"A required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed".
After an hour of browsing Forums for a solution I just decided to Restart my computer and see what happens. When I got it back on and started it up, it worked. However, when it got to the Menu, this is what I saw:

After I shut it down and tried to restart it, I got the same Error Message again. After that, the only thing I could think of would be to Un-install, but to no avail, un-installing did not fix it.
Any help for this problem will be greatly appreciated as I can play every other game just fine except for Supreme Commander.
Lastly, I do own the game so it isn't a glitch due to piracy of the game.
