Hi - after installing latest versions of Firefox and Thunderbird, I had a

problem with the display (text was overwriting to give scrambled output); was

advised to update the video driver.

 

Control Panel>Display Settings gave NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Mod 64 as my driver so

went to NVIDIA website, selected latest driver (78.01) and downloaded. NVIDIA

advised to remove existing driver using Add/Remove Software before installing

new driver, so did so. Ran Install Wizard for 78.01; got message similar to

(I didn't note it exactly) 'Cannot find hardware supported by this driver, so

will exit'. System appeared to go to a default driver (I am no expert!) and

gave unwanted settings on number of colours, screen size etc so changed these.

 

There is now no reference to NVIDIA in the Add/Change Software list. But my

system is working OK on the apparent ly default driver. Do I need to do

anything to access and install an up-to-date driver??

 

Thanks in advance for any advice - Roy

Not if you're happy with it.
