Re: Help Needed with Newbie Installation Problem
On Nvidia's webpage, where you downloaded the drivers, they have an
excellent manual for them. So basically, RTFM :) Seriously though,
they should take care of things pretty well, if you have any troubles
let me know, Ive had my fair share of grief with the Nvidia drivers
myself.
Goodluck,
Jason Self
