Think I might have ****ed my PC....

[seb]

I think i've screwed my pc, I was going through add/remove programs and saw an entry for nvidia drivers - I have an ati card so uninstalled them

Now it's all jerky and keeps on pausing all the time - and thinking about it, my motherboard has an nvidia chipset

:cry:

[sham]

itll be nforce drivers... get them off www.nvidia.com

[seb]

Actually, no, **** it, I don't have an nvidia chipset, it's via kt800 - doh! :)

OK, so I uninstalled these "nvidia" drivers without a second thought, rebooted (it gave me no option) and now my PC's ****ed.

Ideas? :)

Re install the drivers :nod:

As suspected it wasn't related to those drivers.

If anyone has ever experienced MSN "hanging" for 4-5 seconds whenever you click on send, here is the fix - ****ing hell I'm good with google sometimes :)


This type of software is known as a Layered Service Provider or LSP, a piece of software that can be inserted into the Windows TCP/IP handler like a link in a chain. Unfortunately, this type of software is sometimes quietly installed by unrelated software such as file-sharing programs, sneaking onto a system unannounced. In fact, in many cases, the user does not know of its existance until something goes wrong, and he/she can no longer access Web sites. Common offenders include New.net* (NEWDOTNET) and WebHancer*, which are often bundled with file-sharing utilities, DVD player software, and other free downloads. LSP-Fix repairs the Winsock LSP chain by removing the entries left behind when LSP software is removed by hand (or when errors in the software itself break the LSP chain), and removing any gaps in the chain.....
