the detonator supose to be whql digitally signed but tha are not i get a massage that the are not signed anybody else says the same message

Kelsenellenelvian · Dec 4, 2002, 04:00 AM

I got the same damn thing!!! WTF??

BWX · Dec 4, 2002, 11:26 AM

WHQL Canditate, not WHQL signed- there is a difference

Matth · Dec 4, 2002, 04:39 PM

If the size is right, bigger than the leaked - a LOT bigger

BWX · Dec 4, 2002, 05:17 PM

after I unzipped the leaked ver. it was 15.4 MB- go check your folder and see what it says.

-={420}=- · Dec 4, 2002, 10:06 PM

So are these worth downloading if you already installed the leaked version?

digitalwanderer · Dec 4, 2002, 10:23 PM

...I THINK so. I really think there is something different, it glitches a little less when I fire up 3dm2k1se. (I know that sounds weird, but it's true and it's a different reaction than the leaked set.)

BWX · Dec 5, 2002, 12:11 PM

I installed the latest 41.09 whql candidate and I can't tell any difference than the other leaked version. Seems too be LESS stable on my win98se machine. Who knows

Matth · Dec 5, 2002, 02:46 PM

Interestinmg! - I found the leaked 41.09 (on 98SE) to be the most stable set I've had for a long time - since installing, I've not had a single "shutdown hang", and I was having 1-2 per week before..... luck? coincidence? - maybe...

BWX · Dec 5, 2002, 05:58 PM

I was pushing my computer to see how fast it would go though, but I always do that. I think the first set of 41.09's were the most stable.

FresH-MeaT · Dec 7, 2002, 07:32 PM

can any one please tell me what does WHQL means?

digitalwanderer · Dec 7, 2002, 07:36 PM

"Windows Hardware Quality Listed", or some such silly buzzwords. It's just M$ official stamp of approval that a driver set will work with windows. (But it don't REALLY mean it will.

)

BWX · Dec 7, 2002, 08:39 PM

True that

INRI · Dec 7, 2002, 10:34 PM

Well, i installed them but went right back to 41.03!!!
The refresh rate kept changing in and out of games...

jeeeeeezzz...

nForcer · Dec 11, 2002, 06:55 PM

The 41.09's do the same when I manually change resolution settings. But when gaming it doesnt' change at all.

Oh well, nothing's perfect.

TWINKY- · Dec 12, 2002, 10:32 AM

I didnt notice any increases in speed but these drivers seem ok, hopefully Nvidia will release some DX9 Detonators soon that will have FPS increases.. i hope

readonly · Dec 15, 2002, 07:45 AM

cool...

PMSL.....just seen one of your other posts readonly.....one word posts(or less!!) are insulting m8, do you think ppl won't notice!

('

BWX · Dec 16, 2002, 06:41 PM

I have made a few one word posts- I was actually talking to someone though, and that is all the response that was needed.

Is there a word minimum on posts now? Another moderator PM'ed me and told me my sig was too long. What's going on with this place?

Nope no word min, but some unscrupulous ppl are trying to reach the 10 post count to enter the competion by doing bare mininum and not really contributing to driver heaven in anyway

as you can see from readonly that he has posted twice, one post
reply was

and the other above saying cool

I would imagine that long sigs appearing in everyones posts would add to database work load and lag the server a bit, so keeping them down in size helps the speed for everyone browsing DH.

BWX · Dec 17, 2002, 01:52 AM

Well, that makes sense, but he said the limit was 10 lines and I have 11- does this really make that much of a difference?

one line probably dosen't, but you have to set a limit somewhere don't you! normal story if they let you have 11, someone else will pipe up with they let such & such have 11, why not me

BWX · Dec 17, 2002, 09:53 PM

Is that better? - DH better go after everyone else too, I have seen allot out there longer than 10 lines. ** OK- off topic, I know- Guess anymore discussion about this need to go in feedback.**
