Default Loading Drivers

A long while ago, my computer crashed, and it was fixed a week later.

However, whenever I play GW, all the characters look like they are made of chrome or something. They only go back to normal when I reset the Graphics Tab.

After talking to someone in school about it, he said I need to reinstall the drivers. So, me being the computer genious that I am, set out on this amazing adventure to reinstall my drivers.

I went to nvidia.com and selected the graphics card I think I have.

Unfortunately, after the 20 minute wait, it said that that driver was not tested for Windows XP (my operating system).

So I am curious if I checked the right thing.

I took a screen shot of the information I think I have. I also have the same stuff selected in the background I origonally had selected.

Please take a look at it and let me know if anything is wrong. If I left out some information, let me know, and I will try find it and update my post.

Thank you.

You seem to have selected the right thing, series 6 is correct, any forceware driver will do with your kind of videocard though.

Forceware is the standard nVidia driver package which supports nearly all graphic cards.

Not tested does not matter with a driver, it's just a warning you get when a driver is not certified by microsoft yet. You can ignore this warning in this case and proceed with installation.

You can also check with the computer's manufacturer website, they often give you all the drivers you need when you imput your computer's serial number (although they do not always have the latest version, but at least its better then nothing).

Shakkara, thank you very much. Good thing I saved the thing so I don't have to wait 30 mins for it to download again.
