| 114442 | 2003-01-16 20:21:00 | Just wondering if anyone has ever come across this problem before: Have installed the latest nVidia drivers (41.09) on Win98 PC. All installed OK but when I go to the Settings tab in Display properties I get an illegal operation: RUNDLL32 has caused a general protection fault in module NVMODE.DLL Removing and installing any earlier versions doesn't fix it. Any ideas? Cheers |

| 114444 | 2003-01-16 20:44:00 | Did you uninstall the previous Nvidia drivers before installing the new ones? Nvidia drivers have a rep for not unistalling completely. You can get a utility called Detonator Destroyer (www.guru3d.com) that helps clean out the old drivers. It is best to uninstall the existing drivers completely, changing you driver setup to the standard Windows VGA driver, before installing the new Nvidia drivers. | Biggles (121) | ||
| 114445 | 2003-01-16 20:45:00 | Don't worry! It's fixed. Don't know why?? ?:| All I did was remove the driver I had installed (30.82 I think it was) and reinstalled the latest again (41.09) and it's working now! Thanks anyway. CYa |

| 114446 | 2003-01-16 21:36:00 | Err.. Yeah, They reccommend that you remove your previous driver before installing the new ones at setup.. They even warn you to abort the setup, do that, then start the update over again :) However, there have been reports of errors with the 41.09 on some OS's... Works for me though :) |

| 114447 | 2003-01-16 22:02:00 | Ya 41.09 is working fine for me too - on WinME | Biggles (121) | ||
| 114448 | 2003-01-16 22:14:00 | I believe that the errors/driver faults have been mainly on Windows XP, which has Driver Rollback, so they have it easy. I have also heard some people running 98 complain about it too though. Do those Detonator drivers work on 95? (Just curious!?) |
