Ummm..
Did anyone else's system get fubar'ed by the 5.25 install?
I installed/updated just like always, but the last install screen said
"An error has occured: The specified file could not be found"
That file is not listed anywhere.
Anyways, I tried reverting back to my 5.22's and i get the SAME error message!
I tried any of the earlier driver releases which I've installed before. the SAME error message.. So now i'm stuck with VGA mode and a big yellow exclamation mark beside my TNT2 Ultra card in the device manager.
Does anyone know or have experience with this problem?
In dire need for help.
thanks.

mr yellow that happened to me too with the 5.16 drivers... like for some reason my system could no longer install drivers. so i had to format and install it from scratch. i hope you find an alternative.
Ooops

I didn't try them yet but I noticed two interesting differences compared with previous releases:
- the new nv4_disp.dll is much bigger (+330 KB, which is quite alot),
- there is an additional nvstat.sys file...
Any clue about those two?
I'll install and do some benchmarking tonight.

nvstat.sys installs in the device manager under non-plug and play drivers as "Nvidia performance analysis tool"...hmmmm.

FRICK!!!!!
You think doing a windows upgrade installation will do the trick instead of a pure reinstall?
Oh, and does this affect driver installation for all other drivers aswell? i've been afraid to touch other devices...
Thanks for your insight..

i never tried upgrading... once it was broken i decided the best thing to do was to start over
i didn't touch any of the other devices either, but i tried like 5 different display adapters and none of them would install properly.. always that missing file crap
hope you have better luck

Well, I'm just about to install these 5.25 drivers, so I hope I don't have any of these problems...I've only just got my system back to normal after formatting ;(

yes, mr yellow, a repair (or upgrade) installation will fix that problem. I don't know what causes it in the first place, but it happened to me back with 5.17. Repairing your installation should fix it.
Well, I tried the 5.25 set.
- no prob to install
- w2kcoolbits work
- no performance change compared to other 5.xx
- seem very stable thu
- opengl broken in UT as with 5.17 and 5.22
- still no smp support
So I go back to 5.14 which seem to be the last chance drivers for me

Frogmaster:
at last someone who has the exactly same problem with UT OpenGL as I have.
Instead of making yourself a cup of coffee while UT starts up, try installing DoomLegacy (you need one of the original Dooms for this) and run it. If you get a segment sharing violation, the new Detonators wonΒ΄t run with UT OpenGL either
