....just unnecessarily fought for an hour or more to fix a momentary "black
screen" or "refresh" if you prefer, every time something is mouse clicked in
nvidia control panel, .....after uninstalling and installing newer nvidia
drivers. !!!!
To cut a long story short, after a hunt on the web, spotted a couple of
people who were told it was the "fault" of the monitor -
I prodded the power off button on the monitor, (older Xiod / Samsung CRT),
then after a few seconds turned it back on - "PROBLEM GONE !"

....so there you are, if you upgrade Nvidia drivers, and get a momentary
balck screen, every time you click on something in nVidia control panel, or
the sytem tray icon for nvidia, and if you happen to be using an old, but
newish !! CRT, simply turn it off and back on again - i.e. it's a temporary
condition in the monitor. ...no would this have happneed if I'd had an LCD
on that PC ?

regards, Richard
 
....oh, ...and installing nTune onto a NON nvidia "nforce" chipset
motherboard didn't help either !!!
