Hi, Just to confirm!

It's simple! Just follow the instructions and you will get it working!

Well, it's not so nice but, it tells you that it *is* there *and* working!

Les,

You need to install the nvidia drivers, I had a similar problem with a
gf4. Go to http://mdkxp.by-a.com/htm/tutorials/nvidiacli.php for a
command line way of installing the drivers. I saved my life.

Tony.
