    Possible problem with 43.45 Detonators

    I have serveral machines that I have installed the 43.45 drivers on mine and customers, and all after a few weeks they start blue screening various messages and random reboots... Finally after rebooting and blue screening for a couple days, it will finally start to 640x480, the device will not start, code 10. A roll back to the previous driver or installing 43.00 seems to fix it. I'll repost if it totally fixes the problem or not.

    Mmmm I think you need to appreciate that Detonator drivers are hardly the most reliable of things ....

    At any time there's usually at least six versions flying about, all with subtle changes and all more or less suitable for a particular 'hardware set' .... The uninstall of any previous drivers is critical ....

    My advice is once you've found some that work good is to stick with them, the latest & greatest driver from Nvidia usually breaks more than is fix-ed

    Going around installing the 'newest/best/greatest' Detonator drivers isn't going to endear you to your customers when they inevitably break .... leave it until you are sure they are good to go

    i have the new 44.03 Det FX Drivers from NVIDIA, and DX9, but in DXDIAG, it says n/a next to WQHL Log'd and when installing the drivers it says it's not been certified.

    ... that just means they haven't had the compatibility testing (yet) ...] its not unusual !....Bursts into a Tom Jones impression...

    Its kinda Nvidia's sly way of making you be a beta tester ! , if you have problems try some earlier ones....

    I installed the 44.03 drivers and my internet explorer would freeze up every time, and my pc refused to play video. So I went back to what I was using, I have learned my lesson with the detonator drivers, gonna stick with what works for now.
