Nvidia drivers - Mike M?
Mike, I doubt the patch you mention would help me, but using nVidia
drivers on my old TNT2 Model 64 display adapter so maybe it would. Tried installing newer drivers a while back but with no luck so went back to original drivers (as best I could). One problem remains - which may have nothing to do with nVidia drivers. When I try to open System Restore, an outline of the System Restore window opens but stops at that point. The desktop icons are still visible. Ctrl+Alt+Del will allow ending task of System Restore. Then, going right back into System Restore a second time, everything works as should. This seems to be the only problem at the present, and has been this way for months. Just wondering if the attempted installation of newer nVidia drivers caused this.... |

Just wondering if the attempted
installation of newer nVidia drivers caused this.... I don't think so. The problem when installing recent version nVidia drivers is that the installer for some inexplicable reason removes many of the entries in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\Directory key in the registry, especially the shellex branch. This should have no effect on the operation of the system restore GUI that you are seeing. OK. I've just tested this for myself and deleting these entries doesn't produce the effect you are seeing. Sorry. :-( So what might be causing your problem, I don't really know especially as on launching the GUI a second time all is normal. If I think of anything in the next couple of days I'll post back.
