nview errors

[rowal5555]

Hi guys

I have 1000s of these errors in application event viewer. Haven't noticed any effect but would like to get rid of.

I cant see the pictures at my current location, but if what I think you are referring to - if you navigate to C:/Nvidia there will be a folder in there that store the errors.

Thanks Dalo

Nothing relevant in Program Files or Windows/NVidia

I think they say nview_info Dave.

[Dalo Harkin]

Right ok -

go to control panel and then Administrative options - there is an event viewer in there and you should be able to get rid of any errors there ;)

[rowal5555]

Yeah. Getting rid of the errors is not a problem, but I was wondering why I have over 1700 of them, and how to use the /AUXSOURCE flag to get more detail.

Thanks

[Dalo Harkin]

Right the /AUXSOURCE flag is far too detailed for me to write about - but have a look here Detailed Usage of the Event Viewer /AUXSOURCE Switch Option

 

Also do you have the latest drivers for your card?

[rowal5555]

Thanks for that.

Windows can't find later drivers.

Cheers

[Dalo Harkin]

What graphics card is it- model number?

[rowal5555]

GE Force 7500 LE

[Dalo Harkin]

You need to go to Nvidia website for the drivers

Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers

yours is a 7 series card -

get the new driver - uninstall the OLD one and reboot then install the one you just downloaded ;)

[rowal5555]

Wilco, thanks

[Dalo Harkin]

As a side note - you are always better off going the manufacturer of the components to download the drivers -

 

MOBO's eg ABIT,ASUS and GIGABYTE etc

 

GPU- these may be made by ASUS or GIGABYTE etc but they are still reference designs made by NVIDIA and ATI/AMD and you are better off with the NVIDIA and AMD/ATI drivers.

[rowal5555]

Yes, I usually do go to NVidia, but will check out Gigabyte as well.

Have installed the new drivers and will delete all the errors, see what happens from now on.

Cheers

[Dalo Harkin]

No problem - I will leave the thread open until you install the new drivers and see if the errors in the log goes away.

[rowal5555]

No sign of any as yet; looks good.

Cheers

UPDATE

Went to play a video tonight and no player (and I have quite a few) would play anything other than sound, so ended up doing a System Restore, LOL.

I dunno!! The new NVidia drivers appeared to have installed OK, but....
