{9+}Fluffy February 24, 2006 Share {9+}Fluffy Member February 24, 2006 I've been getting a failure on initial launch of CSS for about a week now. I think it's related to the new Nvidia drivers that I installed for my 7800 GTX. Any road, I'm going through the long, long, long road of uninstall/reinstall, attempt to fix drivers, muck around in general. Any generally useful advice is, of course, appreciated. Specs on rig: Inspiron XPS Gen 2 Pentium M 2.00 GZ 2056 RAM GeForce GO 7800 GTX 256 MB XP Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akaM2 February 24, 2006 Share akaM2 Member February 24, 2006 ya i would go the route your going, worse case scenario just reformat, its always nice to get a clean install. If you have never reformatted I think dell is including an image of the original shipped hard drive on a diff partiotion. You can just use that and put it back to factory defaults. I think you press F11 when you see the dell screen but i would call dell support or look on there site for the exact directions Having an XPS gives you better support or diff support then the regular people i think, might as well try calling them.

Yeah, you get uber geek tech support. The problem right now is that dxdiag is reporting a different driver version for the video card t han device manager. I'm 99% sure it's the fault of the driver-- but i'm going to need to work with the latest drivers for work. I may fire up my old machine just to get a few frags in.
