Guest K Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Okay.. so heres the story I had the default drivers on my Alienware m9750, but enabling SLI didnt seem to improve performance as I expected, so I updated the driver and it still didnt seem much different. Later on I discovered than when I changed the drivers SLI disabled, so I got excited and re-enabled it. When I open a game (TF2 or fear), black rectangles start moving up and down the screen. I have no idea why this is happening, the laptop is pretty new (3-4 weeks) and i treated it with so much care. However, this is one thing I discovered: if I run the game on windowed mode at the same resolution, it is completely fine, no graphical errors at all. current driver is 169.04 graphic cards: geforce go 7950GTX So, anyone have a clue what to do ? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest K Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 OP again. forgot to add one thing: if i dont use SLI the bugs dont happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyver1 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 think it might be something to do with the Vista SLI hotfix, not ure where to find it but do a search on vista sli hotfix in google or on microsoft.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest K Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Argh.. got my hopes up for a second because i remember i never installed the hotfixes on this laptop. Still doesnt work :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest K Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Hmmmm http://www.nvidia.com/object/windows_vista_hotfixes.html I found this site after i downloaded one of them from another, and i tried downloading the other 3 which i had not already done, and it turns out 1 of them was downloaded through windows update, and the other 2 "are not for my system" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyver1 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 there is some issues with the 169.04's, you might wanna try the 163.75's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
