nVidia Graphics card Update available
      #289908 - Mon Jun 26 2006 06:07 PM

If you have a GeForce or nVidia chipped Graphic card there is an update
Posted on the www.fileHippo.com site
Quote:

NVIDIA Forceware 91.31 WHQL


www.filehippo.com/download_nvidia_forceware/
NOTE The file I recieved was 60 MB not 40 MB and it reset down to 800x600 (16 colours) during installation (was 1024x768 (32 colours))

Only change noted the Control Console has been simplified
PSST Seen a new sneaky trick on the settings (and Windows cannot correct it ...)
Fool your pals by rotating the display 180 degrees (Max of 270 degrees)

Thanks for that BedstorfromAP as it's one of the things i tend not to update if my pc's running well , but , i couldn't resist the rotation option. I've just given it a try and it's very

I think i may play a little trick on my laddie with this one. He is at college studying computing and like all teenagers thinks his dad knows nothing about everything. Now , when he comes in , i'll say....."look son" i've been playing about with the pc and i've messed something up but i don't know how. It'll allow him to feel important for a while and i'll see if he can suss it out.

Mouse , thanks for the list of changes......always handy to know.

If his computers are anything like the computers that we have at collage (New Dell ones) then they may have the option to rotate the displays there, they do at our collage. It is a practical joke that got played so much the first week of the new computers.

It is. But what he couldn't remember was the shortcut sequence for rotating the screen back to zero from the other settings. As using the mouse upside down is challenging , i would be grateful if someone can let me in on the secret. Ta very muckle.

Try Ctrl and the direction you want to switch the screen? (e.g. Ctrl UP)

Or you may need to go into the graphic card properties and change it from there.

Note of caution.........
Works ok but has got issues with some online games (ie World of Warcraft) Brother is seeing intermittent "lag"(picture freezes) since I updated. Asked other players if they had it too...reply NO! No Fix Patch issued yet

I bloody hope so, it is soooooooooo tedious and also 2 years wasted at college if I am not! I am at work all evening till 10 o'clock tonight pushing the damn things!

Glad you got your display sorted.
