Hi everybody,

I have already read through the entire documentation written by David 
Techer on his official blog a few times. I just don't think it is a 
NVIDIA driver problem.

May I know where can I download the older NVIDIA drivers like version 
275.XX??? NVIDIA official driver download website only provides the 
latest drivers like version 296.17.

I am just trying to solve a glitch (yellow exclamation mark and unable 
to run 3d graphics benchmarks) and I hope nobody is irritated by my 
emails in my quest to solve the problem.

Thank you very much for your understanding and patience.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)
