A word of warning on Detonator 40 drivers
by Tim Newell · in General Discussion · 10/30/2002 (12:32 am) · 16 replies
You may not want to install Detonator 40 drivers as torque will not run if you do. (Ive only confirmed this with my PC in winXP)

Spock is right there are (or at least were) some issues with the 40.x variant detonator drivers with 2000/XP which is why on the nVidia site you will only see a link to the 30.82 driver set for 2000/XP.I will stand corrected if someone can proove this otherwise.

Until a couple days ago, the 40 series drivers were beta; now they are released, but they are still crashing a lot of programs. The 40 drivers have, however, been WHQL tested by Microsoft so you _know_ the fault couldn't be the drivers...
Even though the 30 drivers work.
Anyway, that's the only reason there wasnt a link -- the 40 drivers ONLY support 2000/XP, they don't support Windows 9x.

If you have the VIA chipset on your motherboard then make sure you have the latest "4-in-1" drivers from VIA Technology's site. Because I thought it was the Nvidia drivers too when I was having problems, but it turned out I had a horrible drivers installed provided by Microsoft that comes with Windows 2000.

That could have been my problem.

I've also been unable to get anything greater than 30.82 to work with Torque. I have a Geforce3 card. I do have the via chipset and I installed the latest drivers. So maybe it is card-dependent.

I am using 41.09 and before that I was using 40.72 of the Nvidia graphics drivers. They work perfectly fine for me. I have a PNY GeForce3 Ti 200 64MB AGP card. :PFor those who want detailed info about my gaming machine: t2n.org/tron/ (It's the first PC, second one's profile needing updating since hardware upgrade.)
