Yes I also havea Nvidia set of motherboard drivers so when I go to unistall the graphics drivers I have to make sure I keep the others!
But I will take all your advice deleting the video driver folder and also running crap cleaner re registry. nHancer, I dont like it....may be in the minority but it does bugger all for me, I use anti aliasing in FS9 not the card and it all runs fine

By the way chaps, (certainly for the Graphics card) The Nvidia folder on the C drive is just were it extracts the files to. It doesn't actually use anything in there after the install is complete ;-)

Sorry Ben, I misunderstood Kevins' post, had not realised that he has a Nvidea motherboard! :doho:
Probably it is the way I tried to explain it but the folder I referred to (deleting) is the one you wrote about quoted above.
Deary me!! I'm getting to the age where the grey matter is not functioning as it should

Nigel.

Sadly I'm still getting ctd's with graphics driver errors (recovery from) with this driver version using DX10 in Far Cry 2 - anyone else experiencing these? Far Cry 2 is up-to-date patch wise.
Edit - just been over to the Farcry 2 community site and lots of posts re ctd with DX10 - Ubisoft don't appear to want to talk about it so perhaps using DX9 is the only answer - shame really as DX10 has better performance and looks a lot better. DX10 problem appears to be memory leak!

Chris

"still getting" suggests that you were already getting CTDs with the previous driver...just as a guess I would say that both drivers were written for DX9

Hi Peter, no - in this instance it appears to be a game issue. RAM usage creeps up during gameplay and when it hits 60% off you go to the desktop. Appears to be consistent regardless of how much RAM you have. Hopefully Ubisoft will address it in a patch but in the meantime DX9 it is.
Regards,
Chris
