Best Graphics Card for me

The place to ask for help or solve each others technical issues and discuss hardware

Postby ardypilot » Sat Mar 31, 2007 11:10 am

Now I have a new problem. I cleaned out the older drivers that bingo suggested with DriverCleaner and installed the latest ones which I had before the card switch with my FX5600 and FS ran fine.

Now when I load up FS, I get a black box where the aircraft is meant to rotate in the create a flight menu, and also when I switch back to desktop, I get all confusing boxes on my screen and have to restart... any ideas?

Try this

Regscrub XP

http://www.sofotex.com/RegScrubXP-download_L7528.html

A useful tool but may not be the complete cure.

I'm wary to try anything that will go changing my registry as I have never had this issue before with this graphics cards. I have tried two drivers (the latest one and one from August 06 but they both have the same effect on FS and my system)

What would be causing this?

Uninstall your present driver using the manufacturer's software, then re-install what you want.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it through add/remove programs.

Also, I noticed that since I have used Driver Cleaner Pro, all my Zone Alarm program safty list has dissapeared and it keeps asking me for permission every time I start an application!
