Make sure that you download and install the latest driver for the card.

Also their could be other issues on why the game is not working. If you could explain more on what is happening and what else you have for your computer specs; we could help you better.

Uninstall the old drivers first mine works perfectly

Perhaps the guy will need to install the game again since getting a new card?

I don't actually know that though.

Does anyone else know?

Heres the driver GeForce Release 182

claymoresmurf · 03-03-2009, 01:23 PM

are you running a nvida 8800 if so here you go

haha just do the following i know what im doing just do the following ok

read carefully any one who has crashes (i.e:blue screes from playing a game for 30 min to 1 hr) i have finally found the answere to the crash after searching for 2 weeks
(the problem is from the heat of the GPU this is comon with EVGA cards when it crashes it will tell u nv4_disp.dll etc.) just do what is written bellow (this is also for any one with a problem even people that dont own a EVGA any one else with a 8800 can fix it with these steps

READ CARFULLY:
do exactly what ill tell u to do.This is normally for people who

AREN'T

using liqued cooling on the graphic cards

1.download driver cleaner pro (i downloaded mine from .com) (install it)

2.download the a 8 series driver from EVGA.com not nvidia.com evga has the 162.18 the nvidia website has the old version

(DONT INSTALL IT NOW)

(uninstall the current driver if u have one from the controlpanel only uninstal the displaydriver nothing else)

3.download nTUNE from the nvidia website or evga website
(well the problem with the old GPU driver from NVIDIA.com that u cant control the fan box in the ntune controlpanel)

4.restart the pc and go to safe mode by pressing F8

5.run drivercleaner pro and do the following (warning dont run in normal mode only safe mode)

A . click on the arrow and find nVidia (only nVidia) and tick the (select multipel cleaning filters) then click ADD ... wait for 6 seconds , when it finishes close it then
restart

6. in normal mode install the 8 series driver then restart

7.go to startmenu > NVIDIA COPARATIONS > nvidia controlpanel > controlpanel

8.extend the preformance TAB and click on adjust GPU settings > click on direct fan control then drag the (thing) to the end (99%)

Exactly, you do realise telling people to download OLD 8 series drivers means it might not even recognise their card?

Driver cleaner pro is now pay, use driver sweeper from guru3d.com its practically the same and its free.

Also ntune doesn't allow you to control the fan, I had an issue with this nvidia drivers and i had to install RIVATUNER instead, NOT ntune, its practically useless, it doesn't keep the settings. If you use an x64 operating system you need to make sure you install the "update" when prompted during the install. Vaguetech - Rivatuner v2.07-11 Guide is a topic which details how to sort out your fans, its valid for the latest version.

well I was lucky to read another thread pertaining to differenet issues and I downloaded BF2142 fps unlock then tryed to play the game and I am finally able to play, I had tryed all the driver install reinstall game uninstall and nothing worked til i downloaded the app.

Thanks everybody

nTune always made my system unstable. I use RivaTuner as well. A lot better. Of coarse I get mine from Guru3D where the maker of it has his own section in their forums. The person that makes it also helped make the EVGA Precision tool which is good for the beginners. RivaTuner is a lot more advanced. I like the monitoring part of it the most. I do not OC my cards too much because I do not need to for any of my games. But I always use the monitoring for my temps and FPS.
Plus I do not have to worry about the fans since I do not us any on my actual cards. Liquid cooled for me.

If I OC my CPU I use the BIOS.

timeflyer · 03-03-2009, 11:29 PM

Water cooled here as well! well except for my new card,I had a ati x850 and it was water cooled and I overclocked it,without water cooling I would rather just leave umm alone I have ruined spendy cards before !

You do know that nVidia drivers are all the same from 6 series up to the 200 series? The only difference is the OS versions! And there is a certain order to using driver cleaner pro or driver sweeper.

Uninstall driver, restart in safe mode, run Driver cleaner/sweeper, Restart, install driver, restart, enable SLi, restart one last time.

Depending on how fast your system is it could take from 10 mins to an hour to install an updated driver the correct way!
