If thats directed to me
razor copperhead mouse
rocketfish bluetooth keyboard
how do you setup Duel Monitor with this driver?
Honestly I cant believe all of the trouble that some of you guys are having with this new driver but then again when I see stuff like this-
I can also only select 33/66/100 and don't notice a diff with digital vibrance. I did install over the older drivers I had, didn't do the drivercleaner method. Also may be an issue with certain models.
I can only imagine why..........LOL.
I dont have a single issue with these drivers and digital vibrance works as it should and all my games are flying along with them too.
This is the method that I always use when installing new drivers and it has yet to fail me.
1. Uninstall old drivers first through CP.
2. Delete all left over Nvidia folders-usually just 2 folders.
3. Reboot, go into safe mode and run both Driver cleaner and Driver sweeper.
4. Reboot back into windows and run something like CC cleaner for your registry.
5. Install new drivers and reboot. Perfect Everytime.

That is what I used to do but decided to say screw Driver Sweeper for now. It seems the Nvidia uninstaller does a better job than it used to.

That's your problem:captnkill: Check latest Driver Sweeper and see how much is left behind.

I know the keyboard and mouse questions sounds strange, but believe it or not, it matters. Bluetooth seems to mess up FEAR. I had my logitech bluetooth keyboard/mouse plugged in on an older system running FEAR with SLI and as soon as I unplugged the keyboard and used just a regular USB one, it worked just fine. Also, try downloading Nhancer -- that may help too.

Exactly.
This driver also has the Battlefield 2142 bug. When you cloak the screen turns completely black and it goes black every time an orbital strike falls near you or you take any damage. Pity because they smoke in Unreal Tournament 3.
in Battlefield 2142 same here in the orbital strike the screens goes black what did you do to sort this out?

Maybe, I can help a little. Just to note, I have never have had an issues with any drivers. I have seen many posts a driver issues here, but I never exhibited any of the symptoms some would report. However, this is the very first driver I have had an issue with and it actually drastically affected Battlefield 2142. The fist issue is due to AA that you, others, and I know about after you were severely damage the screen will temporally go black. The second issue I noted again in BF2142 is that even with high quality settings and far distance configuration it will not be so. I noted this mainly on Wake Island when the trees where of very low quality and had to double check my settings which were still maxed out. Also, I force v-sync on and it will not work all the time. I will see tearing happening some and others not. I personally went to the previous driver since it made BF2142 unplayable for me, and that is my main game.
One BF player to another, to fix but keep the drivers for this issue (if you are nut bugged more than I was), is to just disable anti-aliasing.

Well known bug with FEAR. Certain peripherals (especially Logitech) cause that slowdown you experience. Something to do with either the drivers, or the hardware, or something else. Each party points a finger at the other.
