Return to deskop with physX activated and 1.01

dj050464 · 24-02-2009, 02:56 PM

I dont understand. I have the new drivers for my nvidia card, and the new drivers for physX. But if i active physX (and i want !) during the game, i have a return in deskop and i must stop the application. If i desactivate this option, i have only a little freeze or a black screen, but few seconds later, i can continue... And change the compatibility for Windows 2000 or XP (because i'm playing with vista) doesn't change anything...

(sorry for my english, i'm french)

What videocard (and driver version) are you using?

That should work OK. The only thing I can think of is the usual "uninstall - clean - reinstall" option:

Install Driver Sweeper
Uninstall the video drivers (using Control Panel -> Uninstall NVIDIA Drivers + PhysX)
Reboot in Safe Mode (press F8 before boot -> select Safe Mode)
Use Driver Sweeper to get rid of the last driver remnants
Reboot and reinstall the video driver

Also make sure the PhysX option in your NVIDIA Control Panel is Enabled.
