Nview blues

Hi,

You may remember a post I made about certain old demos running one
minute and not the next..

I am now pretty convinced that the reason on at least one of these is
when "NVIEW" kicks in. as soon as I get it disabled, the demo works
nicely again, but the problem is how to get it disabled, so that it
doesn't just "reactivate" like it seems to do every so often.. (I've
come to this conclusion, because the screen that gives you display
option, also gives the choice of 2 geforce cards to render it onto, and
which ever I choose, it tells me to reinstall direct x 7 - I have
version 9), last time it was disabling nview that did the trick...

so- how can I set it so that NVIEW is gone for good (or at least until
I decide I want it activated..)?

Thanks...

Disable nView as you normally would, then run msconfig and untick the "nwiz"
startup item.

Strange how it asks for DX7. After installing Half-Life 2 with version
77.77 of nVidia's drivers I got messages telling me I needed DX7 or higher
to run the game, and it wasn't until I imported an HL2 profile (using
nHancer) created under a previous driver release into the NVIDIA Settings'
Application Profiles under "Performance & Quality Settings" that the problem
disappeared.

seems the problem went away on it's own again!! I love pc\s at times!
