Re: Jerky video

Have you tried the newer drivers on the nVidia site? I belive those in the
RC are not the final drivers but also beta/RC drivers.

Also, way wrong newsgroup - but then again there's no Win7 newsgroup so
we're on the same page there. ;-)

Drivers can be quircky. My step daughter was having problems with audio
skipping. She had the Microsoft drivers installed on her Dell computer and I
uninstalled them and installed Dells driver and then it worked fine so at
least give it a try. Maybe you can go to your computer makers web site and
download their driver it's worth a try.
