521824 2007-02-02 03:46:00 Anyone having trouble with this. Mine is corrupted, but when I try to download a new driver it wants 12 hours to download 60MB, goes for about two hours and then quits. Siobhan (6842)
521825 2007-02-02 03:52:00 are you using a download manager? jonkimnicko (10061)
521826 2007-02-02 03:54:00 60 mb? what version are you getting?

And you're getting it from the Nvidia site?

521827 2007-02-02 08:49:00 Two or three days ago I downloaded NVidia drivers version 91.47 via Xtra broadband. When extracted it takes up 43.4 megabytes as size on disk. The download took minutes rather than hours.

I reformatted my boot drive. Loaded WinXP SP2. Installed drivers I needed from my CDs. This included motherboard first. I did not install unnecessary stuff from the CDs.

Reformatting is not the answer for everyone.

I did it because I had downloaded all sorts of stuff over time to test how it works. I also want to try another version of Linux. Over to me to repartition. Over to me to make sure I have backups of all downloads I want to keep. Backups of all web sites and documents I have created.

I guess you are still trying to solve the monitor problem.

Try to keep your problem in one thread. This way, you may have the support from PressF1 people.

Altho I don't think its free anymore. I cant see any download link on the site.

Lucky I kept the old version on another hdd here.
