I might give the latest drivers a miss this time. The last latest drivers I downloaded, screwed up FsP and parts of FS9... Hit with Chair Do all drivers have their 'loop holes'?

Thanks for the update Liono but i have to agree with Jon.
I once update my drivers-in past- and my screen start flashing when FS loads...It was enough to make me get rid of them and remain to the CD ones.... Dont Know

I too have had the flashing screen,(on load up)but lived with it because I did notice an improvement in my gfx.
So give them a try(live with the flashing screen for a day or two) and see how fs behaves Wink

I've installed them (as I alwas do with the latest ones). I have my settings as follows

AA = 4x
AF = 16x

no black screen until I reach 8x on the AA. I have only fired up FS once tonight but I didn't notice any flashing at all.

I think I got a slight improvement over the old ones, but not to sure. I have noticed my screen abit sharper than the older drivers.

Ouch! First time I've had any problems with nV updates, spent the last 2 hours installing 91.47 and then reinstalling 91.31 that works OK, but this 91.47 I get half a screen the other half slides off to one side, the mouse goes crazy. I lost complete control, had to press reset, go into safe mode, to eventually get back to normal. So 91.47 can wait! Cos I'm off to bed!

AF = 16x ? Is this safe - I'm still sticking to the 91.31 though after what I've just read.

I've got AF = 4x atm Dont Know

Well, I don't know why 91.47 went crazy, but I'm running without any problems today on 91.31. I just wonder if my running in SLI config has any bearing on the problem, but 91.31 has no trouble. I'll try it on my spare computer later, but off now car in for it's MoT, yuk! Another bill! Goes up every year, £44.00 or more now.
