NVidia's New Drivers are No Good

For kicks, this evening I took a perfectly working workstation, made a Norton Ghost backup, and proceeded to install the latest nVidia driver (Jan 9, 180.2).
When I fired up Premiere CS3 (been running on that workstation for about a year), I knew things weren't right when inside a project, I click a tab to change timelines and the whole screen goes black.
On another test, I imported some XDCam folders and the screen went black.
An hour later, the system goes to standby (sleep) mode and shortly thereafter, I try to bring the system back up, but it never recovers.
Back to Norton Ghost image of the working system with a driver from over a year ago that is stable. These new nVidia drivers are probably half the problem we're all having with CS4. If they can totally screw up a CS3 setup, then I have no trust in them for anything at all.

The Auzentech is about a month old.
The MotU 896 is one of the most mature, established sound hardware devices in the industry.
At any rate, I could no longer waste time with this.
I downgraded to CS3 and all of the problems are gone. CS3 runs just like our other CS3 workstation. Smoothly.

  • HP L7780 C8192A SN MY87L850HF ID 19140 - Your WIN7x64 DRIVERS ARE BAD BAD BAD NETWORKIN

    Had trouble with Win7x64 Laptop. Would not connect to newtwork printer assigned 192.168.1.104 using our router.
    Other identical Win7x64 Laptop workedd fine, so did two WinXP machines.
    Downloaded a complete 300mb full install and removed everything, rebooted and installed the new sofftware.
    Still did not work. Tried everything, even turned off Norton36, even though the other laptop worked fine with 360.
    Tried it on. Then wentt ovver aand tried the laptop Win7x64 and WinXP and they could print!
    The WinXP could also print using the shared printer from the problem Laptop Win7x64 because it stilll used its own driver. Same with the other laptop Win7x64.
    Then I tried adding the shared printer from the problem laptop that had the new HP software, it required a new driver I guess because the BAD BAD BAD driver was newer. Zip across it went and now THAT laptop does not work.
    I am incredulous that HP would be so arrogant that they thiink their DRIVERS are so good that they do not need to know when they have failled!!!   No email direct to HP and no Tech support because HPP is perfect.  This problem started long ago. HP Drivers have always been a problem. They don't have a business if their drivers fail, they'r name will get worse than when Carly Firorino had so many lousy productts out therre nobody in the company knew which end was up!!!
    They used to be a great company, wish they stilll were.  Hope someone contacts me with a solution because I've got two Win7x64 Laptops that don't print   AND  I don't trust these drivers any more!!!!! BAD BAD BAD  -Which one works for Win7x64???
    Bug the way the give away is that when you try to print to a printer and select it properly, no document even lands in the document que, someting is screwedd up with the driver..

  • New nVidia Drivers are out 71.84

    Quote from: Frankenputer on 15-March-05, 08:40:51
    I'm curious as to why nVidia released these without the "Refresh Rate Overrides" page enabled. I need to use them or if whenever I play TFC, etc. I get a 60Hz refresh rate, and that "hertz" my eyes. Anyway, a registry tweak is all that is needed and the simplest way is to use this registry tweaker I'm linking to do it.
    http://billfleming.dyndns.org/LV/regtweaks/enable_refresh_rate_override.reg
    It works and I now have the Refresh Rate Overrides page back. I guess nVidia thinks we're all using LCDs.
    Great finally a new official whql driver released by nvidia. Theese drivers works great for my much better than the old beta drivers. Frankenputer thanks for finding that tweak, I have been using refreshlock the last few days and I hate that program.

  • New nVidia 6.70 drivers

    Recently i got nVidia nForce 6.53 drivers on my computer installed, they are working well. I would like to install the latest nForce 6.70 from nVidia  and i am not sure how to do it. Do i have to uninstall the old ones first ?
    Thanks in advance.

    1. Yul is not using RAID;
    2. Of course Windows will not see the RAID arrays after uninstalling the drivers ... installing the new drivers will make the array come back again, though - so I do not think that you actually killed your system (the arrays were just temporarily out-of-sight ). I have done this numerous times before I switched to a Promise card;
    3. If the OS is on the array, then of course the situation is a bit more complex, but even then you will not kill your system right away;
    4. it is good advice and generally accepted to remove remainders of old (Nvidia-) drivers, before installing new ones

  • T61p Nvidia drivers - new drivers give jerky DXVA playback

    I gave another shot at installing the latest drivers for my Nvidia FX 570M, but it seems that CUDA does work well when there are other applications running in the background. When I play 1080p (or 720p)mkv files, there is a jerkyness, audio and video halts for a few seconds and then it resumes.
    With the old drivers from Lenovo, everything seemed fine, but the drivers did seem to have a few bugs in the interface, or retaining the settings for increased refresh rate.
    Does anyone else have these issues?
    Thanks,

    It seems like the problem is a conflict with other applications that use hardware acceleration. I disabled it in Firefox, and now video playback is fine. 
    I wonder if I should alert Nvidia or Mozilla about the problem. Given the problem has consistently been with newer drivers, it seems like it is Nvidia's responsibility.

  • After effects instantly crashes while using opengl with nvidias new drivers 178.24

    Since I installed nvidias new drivers 178.24, after effects instantly crashes while using opengl. Anyone else experienced this?
    I have Geforce 8600 GT.
    As a minor note, I had major problems with the new quicktime 7.5.5 update, both After effects and Premiere got problems with interpreting footage and frames here and there got the "missing frame" look. I also got more problems so I uninstalled it instantly. Is there a major problem with the update or a major problem with me?
    Thanks

    Sorry not to give more info on the Quicktime problem, I don't remember exactly what more problems there where as we have had extremely much to do these last couple of weeks and I just freaked out and uninstalled it as soon as the problems emerged. I do remember the frame issue however, it was very clear, i imported an image sequence in premiere and everything worked fine, then i updated and frames were suddenly dropped, then i uninstalled and installed 7.5 again and it worked just fine. I also tried to flush the cache, restart and generally search for the source of the problem for a couple of hours.

  • How do I install the nvidia 120 gt, where are the drivers?

    I purchased the nvidia 120 gt from apple....There are no driver disks...and when I go online no one knows where to get the drivers...HELP ME!

    Drivers are included in Mac OS X "Requires Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later".
    So if it is black, the problem is not drivers.
    This card does not require aux power, so it can be installed at the same time as another card, unless the original has completely failed. What display are you connecting? How are you connecting it (cables, adapters) ? What Mac are you using in year of issue, speed, number of processors, MacPro 3.1 designation, etc. ?

  • Are we getting new drivers anytime so

    The latest audigy update is:
    Audigy Web Update - Audigy Drivers (3.50 MB) 9 Nov 03
    and the driver patch:
    EAX 4.0 ADVANCED HD Driver Patch Update for Sound Blaster Audigy (6.44 MB) 29 Mar 04
    Can we please get a new set of drivers with the next two months?

    I imagine that the coders doing drivers for Creative are quite busy with the newest modellines, so unless there is actually a problem with interaction between a driver and a specific OS I don't think you should expect new drivers anytime soon.

  • Are X-F1 new drivers installable over beta

    Installed the 5/30/06 Betas that said they were good until September 06 when they safely could be replaced. The new driver set including the beta changes is now available. Is there any problem installing these new drivers over the Betas??Message Edited by dogin on 08-02-2006 06:35 AM

    Well I took the plunge last night and reverted my system back from SP1.  Uninstalled the drivers and software and then reinstalled them with no SP1 installed.  And still no WinDVR working. :
    [ranrt]
    I do think however anyone who is having issues with the winDVR software and XP SP1 should send MSI tech support an email because I think it is unlikely they have the time to surf the forum for complaints.  So if we want to get anything done about the SP1 issues, we're going to need to send them emails.  But please send professional civil emails, if they get bombarded with angry swearing emails I think they're not going to be in a real big hurry to fix things.

  • NEW DRIVERS OUT FOR VISTA GET THEM WHILE THEY ARE

    I was browsing through the driver section and what did i see, CL actually released drivers a day early, so go get them and let everyone know how they work for you.

    First the new, expensi've and good cards and then the 5 year old cards ...
    that's what I prefer because I always buy new hardware and don't use 5-0 year old sound cards. Just kidding
    Just be patient, you will get your driver sooner or later. You don't have so many problems like XFI users (my friend has an audigy 2 ZS and is nearly happy with his driver). XFI Users have much more problems with drivers ...

    See if this works:
    Press F8 repeatedly as your machine boots up, until it comes to a selection screen.
    Choose "Start my computer with last known good configuration" (or something to that effect).
    This should roll back the nForce drivers, and windows should boot normally. One other thing, I'll assume you installed the SW IDE driver? (it asks you during the nForce setup, and you have to choose yes or no).
      If you did install the SW IDE driver, when you get back into windows, reinstall the nForce drivers, but this time choose NO! when it asks to install the SW IDE driver.
    Hope that helps, let me know!
    Roger
    Great Job Roger, that did the trick!
    Thanks so much
