41.80 Drivers Help please

jp306 · Jan 17, 2003, 01:17 AM

I Installed the 41.80 det drivers and now my PNY GeForce4 ti4200 is listed as a Creative labs 3D Blaster. I have installed the 42.01 Dets since and it's still listed as a Creative 3D Blaster. I did read before I installed them this would happen , but thought it would go away when I installed new drivers and of course if I go to the PNY website for drivers it's a direct link to Nvidia so no help there. So if anyone knows how to change this with out having to format my Harddrive let me know. If not I can live with it, but I hate Creative Labs for an injustice there support dept did to me a while back and everytime I see the name it still pisses me off

try using the drivercleaner program to completely remove the old creative drivers, reboot, then install the nvidia reference drivers, that shoud clear it.

This was because the drives are for the Creative Video card.. you need the generic drives.. made by nvidia, and not for other company..

Uninstall 41.80, reboot.. and dowload the latest by nvidia (41.09)
