Nvidia Video Card Issues.

Ah, my wonderful Nvidia 6600GT video card is whacked out beyond belief.

I've had issues with it before, but I reinstalled it, and low n' behold, can't even find decent drivers for the thing. (All all english nvidia drivers in japanese? What's with that? Eh well, mine are when running the installation for them.)

Anyways, I can't run anything because I dont have any working Nvidia drivers.

I need halp in any form. ;__; Peas.

    I would guess that the language is chosen based on your system regional settings (control panel -> regional and language settings and I think under the advanced tab is where you set it).

    I think this is what you want, assuming you're running win2k/xp 32bit:

    edit: The driver selection is a bit confusing but you should have chosen "GeForce and TNT2" in the second field.

    Ah stupid me, I remember I messed aroudn with those ages ago into order to run RBO.

    Thanks a lot.

    Now I'll be back if it messes up again, which it will. (For some reason almsot any game, from WoW to Oblivion even, it slowly deteriorates into a black screen then the monitor just sorta "turnsoff" but is still connected/on

    Check your video card's cooling fan. Sounds like your card is slowly overheating.
