Q: I have a Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT PCI Express Graphics card. I recently had to reformat my hard drive in order to reinstall Windows, and to my dismay, I can not find the installation software that came with the graphics card. Nvidia's customer support sucks, and i've downloaded and tried just about every driver I can. My computer says my card is working correctly, yet I get THE WORST resolution possible in windows xp. Any help would be greatly appreciated. - Hasgoth
A: Don't spend $30 on a driver program. It's not needed. You more then likely need to completely remover any and all old or incompatible drivers that are on your system. Just because you uninstall a driver does not mean it's gone. Use Driver Cleaner Pro to remove your Nvidia driver in Safe Mode restart and install the latest driver for your card and OS from Nvidia's web site. http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=745
