oVan Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Here's a copy/paste of my results (appar. I've put my reply in the gaming subgroup) After having several problems with 60.72, I initially reverted to 5x.xx series, but the standby & backlit problems were back. So I've installed these 61.11 today, hoping for better luck. My conclusions so far: * After editing the setup.ini to only allow English language, I see that the Control Panel dialogs are Dutch again (note: other driver versions have this prob too). * Pressing the Sleep button makes the notebook go into standby mode, but resuming from it is not possible: black screen, although xp seems to be running partially. It's hanging somewhere. * Undocking from D/View station with the XP Undock command works perfectly. * When undocked, the WiFi connection only works after several minutes waiting. With 60.72 it was impossible to get any WiFi connection. I know, these shouldn't be related, but it really is. All other drivers I've tested work perfectly with WiFi, and all 60-series seem to give some connection probs. Anyone? * I've noticed again that my cooling fans are continuously working, which only happens with 60-series drivers. Although 60.72 eventually made the notebook crash because of overheating, so far 61.11 keeps running. This might still happen, as 60.72 also ran for several hours, then started crashing. My 4200go is clocked at 196/390, which is Dell default; why are my fans continuously on? Something makes the system generating a lot of heat... Removing the drivers and installing 5x.xx or 4x.xx solves this That's it so far. As long as I don't see any (heat-related) crash I'll keep running this one I think. oVan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 After editing the setup.ini to only allow English language, I see that the Control Panel dialogs are Dutch again (note: other driver versions have this prob too). you need to delete the "localized sections" in the inf..... THANKS for the summary :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Korpowski Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I have a other problem with the 61.11: I have several problems with windows. So for example with notepad: no borders, alt-f4 don't work. Some windows are there, but not really: some parts are visible and the program is running. but sometimes I don't see the window and the content anymore... 60.80 worked very fine for me.

Guest Angel Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Yep... that's the same problem I'm having. Aside from the notepad issue, there's the setup programs for several applications. It just wont load. So I went back to installing 60.80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamika007z Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 I see 61.12 from the developer site from nvidia. I believe all it adds is support for the NV40. That's all it states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hunterv69 Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 hi I was wondering if anyone has fixed all the problems listed above. I too have the same problems as stated. Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oVan Posted May 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Well, after using Pieter's modified inf (with temperature fix and standby fix) I must say I'm enjoying this 61.11 driver. Smooth. The following is still strange, but not a major problem: * After standby, or after undocking/docking, the video is _super_ slow. Opening the nVidia control panel and closing it again fixes this problem. Clock? * Temperature is still higher than with 40-series driver. In the end, I can live with that. * Still having WiFi probs undocked, this problem only appeared with 60-series driver. I know it's strange, but it is a fact :) Has anyone this last problem, or a clue where I might start looking for a solution? oVan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Still having WiFi probs undocked, What kind of problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oVan Posted May 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 When undocked, WiFi connection is taking +10 minutes to establish, or sometimes not at all. There's a very low signal strength. With the older drivers (40 & 50 series) this problem did not exist. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teraphy Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Would it be possible to get an idea of your WiFi details? Is it a PC card or interal? Probably a card since you have A/B/G+. Who is the maker of it? Driver version, etc. I'm running a cheap B card to a Linksys WRT54G with fine results. Connection is "Very Good" though I am fairly close to the router.

oVan Posted May 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Sure, it's a Dell TrueMobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN mini-PCI card, based on Broadcomm chipset. I'm sitting at 1m from the router and still have these probs... Other problem that I've had with the 60.60 has now reappeared with 61.11: overheating makes the notebook crash. This happens with the i8kfancontrol applet set to max fan speed on both fans, and temperature going really low (like: 37°C for cpu and 50°C for gpu) and it still crashes?!? I'll have a try with 61.12 but if that's not any better I'll have to go down again... Tnx! oVan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
