driver date
I had a problem with a game, so when I called the support line for that
manufacturer, they asked what was the date for the driver. The date showed 4/10/07, but I had already updated the driver for my video card in December of 2007. It did not change the date in the system. Is this just a quirk or what?

How did you update your driver? Did you use "Update Driver" in the Properties from the listed driver in Device Manager? Did you download a file from the game vendor's website? Was this a zipped file and you failed to unzip it? You need to provide more information. C.B.

driver date
I went directly to nvidia site and answered the fill in blanks as to the
model of video card that I have, then saved it to my computer. It was a exe file so it applied itself as if it was installing a new program. Does this help?

Did you UNINSTALL the old drivers via Control Panel (Classic view) Programs
and Features and reboot before you installed the latest nVidia drivers as recommended in the nVidia driver installation notes? I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS! "mike_asi" wrote in message ...

driver date
What model NVIDIA graphics card to you have?
The date of the driver is not the date you installed it it is the date the driver file was created by NVIDIA. "Cal Bear '66" wrote in message ...

driver date
Nvidea 8500 gt. To answer Cal Bear, I had no other driver in the system prior
to installing the 8500. OK thanks for the information regarding the date, because Ubisoft states that the date is when it was installed. Makes more sense now.
