Video drivers unresponsive after installing SP2

pottsbgstv · May 1st, 2007, 03:14 AM

Hello, i'm having a strange driver problem with my Windows Server 2003 machine. Anytime i install SP2 for 2003 the video drivers cause the GUI to become unresponsive/slow or unusable. This happens if I install the drivers before SP2, and if i install the video drivers after SP2. I also have DX9C installed, as well as all hardware accelleration enabled.

PS i'm using 2.9792 drivers

If anyone has any ideas i would really appreciate it.

Thank you

Have a nice day

Try a previous version of the drivers, as I've had issues with the ones you refer to.

Hi Thank you both for your reply. I am using the ngohq drivers 2.9792 already. I also have the latest updates applied including dx9. Just as a note i will add the the regular Nvidia drivers dont work either.

I'll try an older version of the drivers later today. Thank you for the sugesstion c4r105.

Thank you

Have a nice day

Well, i just tried NGOHQ 1.9381 and it's actually worse. It won't draw the mouse cursor or the logon window when i boot Windows 2003. I don't know what else to do, i think i will try reinstalling 2003 and install SP1 and see if i can get the drivers to atleast work with that.

If anyone has any other suggestions i would really appreciate it.

Thank you

Have a nice afternoon.

Did you try the specifiated drivers for your Os ? well... when you download the original drivers from the website of nvidia?

Hi IModAmd, thank you for your reply.

Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 use the same drivers so they should be compatible. I did try the regular Nvidia drivers, but i think i will try them again. I'll post back the results of using the standard Nvidia drivers.

Thank you

Have a nice day

Ok i just want to see the results

Hello, i just tried the November 2, 2006 WHQL release of the NVIDIA drivers. They produce the same results as the NGOHQ drivers. I think there is something in SP2 that is doing it. I'm going to try SP1 now.

I also have my machine setup with XP Pro on it, i use the NGOHQ drivers and they work fine with the hardware. I scored 12,073 on 3DMark06 in SLI mode. I won't be using SLI often because i use multiple monitors.

I'll keep updating my results as i work through this problem.

Thank you

Have a nice afternoon
