you have those days that everything goes perfect and you have days when you wish you could rewind the time.

first of, I broke my 4th headset in 6 months now...though thats a quick fix, it will just cost me 20 euro's and thats it...(now I've spend 80 euro's on headsets in 6 months, a new record for me)

the other problem is that I now have really poor fps in bf2 and bf2142 after I updated my nvidia drivers. I was very optimistic and thought, why not update the drivers ( it had been a long time ago I did ) so I uninstalled the nvidia display driver but let the other nvidia driver thingy there, bc on the nvidia site it only said: remove the nvidia display driver. I went to the site, downloaded the latest driver. installed it and now I have crappy fps. really crappy! 5-15! I cant play this way!

think I'm going to set the computer 2 days back with that windows feature thingy. and then see if that will help the problem.

but I really want to know it any of you can tell me if I did something wrong with those drivers bc maybe I installed them wrong. bc you would think that with better drivers the fps would get better and not worse..

thx

You probobly should've removed all the Nvidia drivers, unless they are for your motherboards chipsets/northbridge and all that stuff

there is an option in windows to "roll back the driver"

Go to My Computer(right-click)>Properties>Hardware>Device Manager>Display Adapters(Double-click)>Driver>Roll Back Driver

DONT KNOW IF IT WORKS I JUST KNOW THERE IS AN OPTION:dunno:

USE WITH CAUTION

download driver cleaner pro from http://www.drivercleaner.net/ and then install it. download the current nvidia driver if you deleted it already, if not, proceed.

uninstall the driver for the video card you currently have loaded. i'm going to assume you have an nvidia chipset motherboard which is why you have other nvidia drivers, you can leave those alone.

reboot into safemode and run driver cleaner and select nvidia on the drop down box (the only one you need is the plain nvidia, not any of the others) and run it. reboot into regular mode and reinstall your video card driver.

profit!!
