Its a conspiracy I tells ya
« on: January 31, 2010, 11:05:43 PM »
Windows just offered me an optional update from Nvidia for my graphics card which I installed.
I have some Spintop games on my machine that I was playing instead today so I only just attempted to play SH3 tonight but something strange when I clicked the SH3 shortcut nothing happened I tried again still nothing.
Ah I thought that dam driver so I rolled back the driver to my graphics card and guess what up popped SH3 as soon as I clicked on the shortcut.
just to make sure I re-installed the new driver and sure enough no SH3 how strange is this so if you find SH3 no longer works on your machine check to see if you have the new driver on it    2guns

I guess it's on these occasions the expression really comes to its truest meaning:
If it ain't broke, then don't try to fix it.

Honestly, I haven't updated some hardware drivers in a while now. I must admit that I only update regular software like for windows. But graphics card, network or sound card. Well, for what? They allready work, so...

Before you write me a pm, ask yourself, if it ain't better to write it in the forum. It usually is.

Good way of thinking I wont choose to use the upgraded driver again thup1
What is strange its not that SH3 is not showing as I checked the task manager to make sure its not
running but i cant see it but no it wont even start even using the Application in the main SH3 folder.  scrtg
