Frenchy Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 FYI - I have a 4+ year old system running at 1.2 Ghz with 512 Megs of ram. My Geforce 6200 has 128 megs of ram. Usng Windows XP with latest updates. The game runs fine for me albeit without the high end graphics. I recently updated to the 162 version of the drivers. Games appears to run fine (have 2 pbem games going) - not interested in multiplay or RT. They only problem I have now is that I cannot open the nVidia Control panel - nothing. I'd like to tweak some settings but can't. Anybody else in CMSF community have this problem? I have put in a work request to nVidia but so far no response. In checking their forum it appears I am not the only one experiencing this problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Did you uninstall the older drivers before installing the new ones? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budge4 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Its because thev've taken control panel out of latest drivers and put it in another program that you get from Nvidia site, download nTune and all control panel stuff inc temperature monitoring, gpu overclocking etc will be back. nTune is in the Platform\nForce drivers section on Nvidia driver download page. They are not just for nForce boards (they just get a few extra bits though) Running new drivers with nTune on my 7950gt, p965 chipset system and all options are there. nTune runs on Xp, Xp64, Vista and Vista64 [ August 06, 2007, 09:01 PM: Message edited by: Budge4 ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budge4 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Your Welcome. Think Nvidea should make it a bit more obvious on their website that you need nTune if you want to adjust settings with new drivers though. Took me a bit of searching before found out. ps Interesting websites by the way Steve.

Frenchy Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 Budge4, I agree with you about nVidia - they should have been a bit more obvious about it. Thanks for the comments on the websites. The Trailblazer site is my labor of love. Plenty there to see! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
