    See the link that lordnothing posted. Haven't the foggiest where you got the tgz files from, never seem 'em in that format.

    Assuming you've got a intel type 32bit machine as well.

    Hi folks,

    Sorry for the long delay in getting back to this post.
    Firstly, I did quote the files incorrectly, they are in fact tar.gz files.
    I've been getting them from that same page you gave me, but under the AMD64 link as I have an AMD Processor - I assumed these were the ones I wanted, is this correct?

    My machine is an AMD 1200Mhz with 64MB GeForce Card.

    Thanks for your patience on this one!

    Regards,

    Chris

    11. Replace 'nv' with 'nvidia'.
    12. Save
    13. Log back in as user and you should get the nVidia splash screen.
    14. Sorted.

    That's how I did it anyway.
    What do you mean by step 14. Sorted????

    Does anyone know how to change resolutions with the new driver?

    I mean, I have tried doing it the normal way, but it does not take effect.
    I'm stuck with 1024 x 768!!!
