Lol, I do post hardware usually when there is a problem or query, but this time I wanted it fixed rapido. Though it seems that wont be the case... (see below )

--------------------------------------------------

When I just loaded the PC up this morning it installed a large number of update files (registry location by the looks of it). Upon completion it loaded into windows, and hey presto the purple hue was back! The thing is that this didnt not exist on the windows loading screen (as it had previously) and only appeared when windows loaded.

So I tried rolling back drivers, but it was already using the rolled back driver, then installed the new driver (to no avail) and rolled that back - at which point it went back to normal again.

So... why is this rather odd occurance happening? It has now happened on both the drivers I have used, as above I had already tried many other remedies of the simple stuff. Worth me running Hijack this?

What card is it?

XFX 9600GT

Run drivercleaner to get rid of the nvidia drivers & reinstall?
Check for recent updates?

Is it a known problem?

Well it wasnt known to me until it happened...

I will clean the driver completely off if it loads tinted again in the morning. Hope it doesnt go screwy again.. it was all working so well for ages..

Hopefully it's dirvers.

I had a similar thing happen to me & it looks like I'd managed to kill 2x GTX280's

Righty, Im backkk (well on here anyway).
Just finished my last exam so am now willing to actually try and solve this. Interestingly the date has also changed... it is now 2026 according to windows... Im going to system restore to 2010 in June, then see about removing the drivers. If htat doesnt work. Cleannn install here I come.

Hello from the past!

dias eh tahW

I can't be the only one who has always suspected that rusty is a bit backwards...
