Hepath Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Ok - I am happy and agree that I am installing the 6.70 versions (irrespective of directory names) and this is digressing from my question. My confusion derives from the fact that having uninstalled all the drivers and reinstalled 6.70 there was no PCI Management install - It appeared to have disappeared. Furthermore why was there a number of 'unknown' devices, post install, and taking four reboot/device wizard reboots to install them? Also, why couldn't it find the AMD Hyperbridge Transport etc.... Those are my issues - not the version I think we're getting hung up on version numbers here.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatawan Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Hepath: Yes, I had that exact problem after the initial build of Rig #1 below. All sorts of missing files and conflicts etc. I started over, reinstalled everything from the beginning, and it worked perfectly from then on. I say go with your rebuild plan. Just to make sure, did you install the firewall from the driver set? That's a no no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepath Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Phew! Thanks Fatawan - glad someone else did have this problem! And to confirm, no I did not install the firewall! I'll be trying that just as soon as i can kick the little-one off to bed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdLSmith Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Since the 6.70 that you have are titled on your folder as 8.22 and you are having problems, I would suggest: delete from your system all Nvidia drivers including the folders on your C drive and uninstall all related Equipment in System Hardware Manager then restart PC and let system load its drivers. Then obtain a good set of drivers 6.70 and 84.21; then install new setup. I know there have been several instances on here where people have inadvertantly obtained a bad DL and this is only cure I know of. Arguing about who said what isn't going to fix it and no 8.22 is not 6.70. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
