Do you have the latest drivers installed for your 8800GTX?

What about the graphics card's drivers? Firmware and drivers are NOT the same thing.

oh thought they're the same lol! so i need to go to my vidoe card vendor (xpertvision) and download the drivers from there too?

i updated the firmware from nVidia's site and it's still not working. I'll try the driver now, thanks for clarifying it up! :)

Hmm I ran it in Vista no problems and I am using older drivers and did not patch the game. Runs great on my laptop but I forgot to bring a controller, and playing with the keyboard is a major chore.

The only weird thing I'm having problems with now after installing the patch and finally getting the sound to work right using stereo is the PC wants to go into sleep mode when I hit Esc in the middle of a race. I disabled sleep mode but haven't checked yet to see if it stops it from happening.

yes i have tried the manufacturer's website http://www.xpertvision.com/main/index.php and i keep getting a "Network Error (dns_server_failure)" message. I did a search on google and came up with no site that has my xpertvision 8800GTX latest drivers.

does anyone know of a site that might have my video card drivers?

thanks!


EDIT: can anyone log on to the xpertvision site?
