    Could it be that? Because I checked and they are up to date.. BTW I have installed this graphic right away after I bought it a week ago.. The previous one was 8400 GS and the drivers were removed when I removed it physically..

    How did you uninstall your old drivers?

    Right clicking on the PC and then uninstalling the driver from the Hardware tab, and then looked up in the Add/Remove program but it wasn't there so I restarted and the drivers were installed and then I physically removed the part and installed a new one and then so on...

    Okay, I'd recommend uninstalling your current drivers and downloading the latest ones from Nvidia's website. Quite possibly the ones on the disk could be months old.

    Should I uninstall the old ones first and then install the latest ones? OR should I just install the new ones over the old ones?

    Uninstall current, then download and install new ones.

    I installed the new drivers after downloading them without uninstalling the old ones... I think it should work now, I need someone to test it with me though!
