<div class="IPBDescription">Not directly related to NS</div> i just downloaded the new driver for my nvidia geforce 4 ti 4800 and started to install it. but i got an error a few seconds into the installation
"The software you are installing for this hardware:
NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4800
has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP"
then it goes on to say that i should stop the installation because it may impair operation of this computer and contact the vendor to determine if it passed the test. however, i have updated this card 3 or 4 times before this with no problem.
my question is will this "Logo Test" really affect my card, or should i just overlook this?
sorry about posting this in here, but i thought some of you might know since its indirectly related to NS. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

BTW- People have had problems playing Steam with the latest nvidia drivers. Some will lag and others will crash. So if you run into this problem just be aware.
Edit: eh, the problem seems to have shown its face, whenever i start a game, whether it be NS, CS or any other HL mod, an error comes up.
"Driver components mis-match. Ok to continue. Cancel to exit."
yet when i click continue, the error just shows up again and again. however, when i started warcraft this error was not to be found. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> i geuss ill just uninstall the latest driver.
