773436 2009-05-13 10:27:00 It appears that there was something the newer drivers didn't like - could have been leftovers - even using the driver cleaners a person can never be 100% sure all files, and reg entries are removed. (could be many)

By using the older original drivers it appears that what ever was stopping the new ones is/was still there, and by putting back the older one its overwritten the originals.

In this game I see those sorts of things happen regularly, sometimes so called "improvements" are more of a pain in the Butt than a help.

But if its working now, thats good.

773437 2009-05-13 10:52:00 ok thanks a heap i guess i will have to use the next lot of drivers and see if it works and if not bad luck for me almightynugget (13536)
773438 2009-05-13 10:54:00 I just tried to upgrade to those drivers too and got halfway then CPU usage went to 100% and eventually I just closed the setup.exe process in task manager.

I suspect this was caused by the buffer-overflow protection in one of the Comodo products I run (I have had 100% cpu usage problems caused by CMF in the past)

I rebooted into safe mode and the drivers installed fine.
