I was messing around with BF2. 'Cause its rainy and it's Good Friday so everything is closed (Including every bottle-o). So I was playing, then it kept crashing. So I went to Nvidia website and decided to download the latest Gfx Driver.

I downloaded it, I installed it. I got the restart computer prompt. I did so. When it came back on everything was sooo slow ;l. When I went on a webpage (SilkroadForums) I scrolled and it is as if line goes horizontally across my screen. Best way I can describe it is like a Windscreen wiper, coming across my screen and it happens really slowly gives an effect of lagginess.

Is there any way to fix this? Over the past week my computer has just annoyed the fcuuk out of me. Is it easier to just get a new computer? Or use my laptop (I can't really play games on Laptop though).

Any help is appreciated.

Here's how I got my Gfx card driver.

I went to Nvidia site, and clicked on Download Drivers. I had no idea, so I clicked the thing where it scans your computer and finds the driver for you. I then downloaded the one it suggested and installed it. From there on in, I restarted my computer and drama from there.

I tried some System Restore thing, It failed. So I'm wondering, how it is I remove this last GFX Card Driver and go to a previous version?

Snoopy wrote:Yeah. That's the one I downloaded. I've downloaded it 3 times. Each time it's the same one.

Could you possibly tell me how it is I return to a previous Gfx Driver thing?

That may be your problem, I don't see you mentioning that any where that I could see.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
The correct way to install new drivers is:
1. Uninstall old ones from CP or with driver cleaner
2. Reboot.
3. Your desktop should be a small resolution, making everything HUGE. Also laggy as shit, this is VGA mode. Install new drivers.
4. Reboot.

Ok. I don't think I removed my old one. This is what happened.

I installed the new one (without uninstalling the old one). I restarted, when I came back on everything was 800x600 and I was like . Then I changed my resolution and it's been laggy ever since.

I'll try uninstall driver, and then add new one. I don't know

& Thanks everyone. I'll post outcome shortly.
