Nvidia GeForce Graphics Driver

Question

I've recently formatted my PC and since i formatted there seems to be a problem with graphics card driver. I have an Nvidia Geforce 5200 and the latest driver from the nvidia website doesn't seem to suit my dell dimension 8300 as the colours don't show up correctly with the driver e.g. when i play movies, many of my games also won't run properly with there latest driver installed. I've tired using the windows drivers from off the internet as well, these show the colours correclty when i'm playing movies but the driver is outdated and my games still don't play correctly with the windows driver. I'd be grateful for any support people can offer me thanks. My Spec Dimension 8300: 2.6 GHz Pentium 4 processor 512 MB DDR RAM Nvidia GeForce 5200 128 MB RAM Creative Labs Live 5.1 Sound Card (dell) Intel Motherboard

Did you install the newest chipset drivers for your system prior to trying to install graphics drivers?

Nvidia's newest drivers should work fine with that card, unless they introduced some bug or something.

Hi, there is a problem with the latest video driver from Nvidia when playing movies which is version 77.72. I would suggest reverting back to the previous version 71.89 or the newest beta driver 77.76 which corrects the problem, but it is still in beta.

Good luck,

Mike

I remember a problem like this with the colors being washed out in movies (and I found a fix for it). Go to your nvidia control panel and go to color correction. Then set the Apply Changes to Overlay and all channels, and then set color profile to advanced mode. Then hit apply and the movies should look fine.

I use Nvidia's newest drivers on my Geforce 4, and haven't noticed any problems with video playback-but then I usually boost the brightness on my video overlay, so maybe that's why.
