[help]nvidia Driver Problems

Hey all,

I'm having a pain of a problem...

I'm running a GeForce 4 Ti4200 on my machine, and decided that it'd be a good idea to install the latest reference drivers from nVidia. All went well, I rebooted, and started to look at the display properties tab for nVidia "bits".

Anyway, I didn't change anything except resolution, refresh rate, and hiding the system tray icon, and hit apply. Suddenly, I got a system error of some sort (it was either in rundll32 or explorer, I think ), and I thought I'd better reboot.

On rebooting, none of the nVidia control panel stuff loaded, and I couldn't access anything from the nVidia graphics tools.

After about an hour of uninstalling and reinstalling the previous few versions of the drivers, I'm no further - I'm stuck with using the MS reference driver or manually installing the driver in the 52.16 executable, but not getting any of the nVidia tools (which I need to use the TV out).

In short, any suggestions?

No system restore on Server 2003, and I've tried driver rollback and installing earlier versions (which also show nothing)...

I think I'm fuggered. >.<

Well, colour me stupid.

The drivers are perfectly fine. The problem was that I didn't have hardware acceleration set to "full" in the display properties.

Don't I look an idiot now?

To think, I reinstalled Windows because of that <_<
