You could try doing a system restore or even rolling back the drivers for the gfx card.

 

As to getting older drivers there are a few site son the net, try drivers.com or do a google search.

thanks wycliffe,

 

i have done a restore back to yesterday morning(before i installed the driver) so im back to 162.18 AND 120.02, on the net etc it tells you the driver numbers have to be the same, and mines are not, any ideas? im not sure my card overclocks too well on this driver, as even only clocking it a little makes me get "interference" on both monitors when running 3-d applications,

I dont do any overclocking so I cant comment.

 

Actually thats not true, I bought my 8800 from Overclockers I got the BFG card which is already overclocked by Overclockers.

 

I wouldn't touch it now, but thats just me. I'm very wary of overclocking.

 

All the best mate. Good luck
