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) Singapore On 28/03/2012 00:09, David TECHER wrote: > I am able to do it > > Because > > - you don't read the entire documentation that you are suppose to > read.
