Problems with NVIDIA grafic driver and Windows 7 x64
Hi,
I've a PC with a GeForce GT 420 card under Windows 7 (64 Bit version). The graphic driver version is 8.17.12.8026 from the 03.08.2011 (8/3/11) the name of the downloaded file was 280.26-desktop-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql.exe. I've some problems on my PC, which may be caused by the graphic driver: The first problem is, that I can't display images with the standard Windows 7 program - in German it is called "Vorschau" (maybe Preview in english). Instead of displaying the image only the text "Ladevorgang..." (Loading...) is displayed. The second one is, that in the NVIDIA control program (NVIDIA Systemsteuerung) the rotating 3D NVIDIA icon will not be shown. The window is blank. On a German system you can find this icon under "3D-Einstellungen", "Bildeinstellungen mit Vorschau anpassen" - maybe on an english system under something like "3D Configuration", "Changing display settings with preview". 3. Until yesterday the Windows Media Center started with an error message. This message contained the info, that the memory of the graphic card was lower than 64MB - which can't be true. But at the moment the media center is starting without any problems. The Direct X diagnose tool dxdiag displays no problems. I'm able to start windows 7 not only native but also virtual in VirtualBox under Linux. In this case it uses another graphic driver and none of the described problems can be discovered - the second problem can't be tested in this case. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong with the system? Thanks a lot, Heiko |
