nVidia drivers use

**eacevedo** · 10-13-2002, 07:07 AM

Hi, everybody FS Simmers:
Somebody who can give me support to install and test nVidia drivers:

My system is:

Pentium IV 1.7 GHz;
RAM 526 Mb
PNY Verto GeForce4 Ti 4400 128 Mb.
HDD 60 Gb
Windows XP Professional Edition.
MSFS2002 Professional Edition

At present I have installed driver 30.82 with not known problems.

I want to install and test drivers 31.4; 40.52 and 40.72 in order to find the best for me, but I am confused:

Some drivers come in an executable file and others in a zipped file.

I want to be sure how pass from driver 30.82 to driver 31.4 (zip file), and after to driver 40.52 (zip file) and finally to 40.72 (executable file) in a safe way. And then how to return to the best driver for my system.

Also I want to know which kind of tests you recommend to do in order to find the best of them.

I�m confused also because in nVidia web page they say that their drivers are self-installing and the user only needs to run the file, but the video card manufacturer recommend to uninstall first the installed driver and after to install the new driver.

A last question: What is Riva Tuner and where can I learn more about install and use it?

Thank you very much for your support.

after having read your entire posting very carefully I would strongly advise that you better don't change anything! The best support I could give you in this case would be: "Never change a running system!" Or even better:" If it's not broken, why should you repair it?"

You got a fine system; so if you want to fly, why don't you just fly...

Regards,

Michael.
