Incompatibility with latest NVIDIA drivers

[cwhomer]

I recently update my video drivers to 61.76 and found out that Victoria doesn't run under them. I am guessing that's true for the other Paradox games as well. Does anyone know if there's a fix for this, or if it can be fixed. Right now, the only solution is to install the drivers over one another depending on what I'm doing.

The latest drivers from nvidia are version 66.93 Victoria ran fine under it half an hour ago on my computer

The XP/2000 drivers

Ah. You could have mentioned it

I guess the only thing you can do is roll back to a previous version of the drivers.

Yeah I meant to.

That's what I figured. Thanks anyway.

You might want to try the standard stuff:

1) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
2) Set the color depth to 16BIT
3) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.

I've had problems like this in the past with other games. Later drivers fixed the problem but they rook a long time coming.

@ Nightcap: Let's quote when C&Ping please.

@cwhomer: Following my standard advice may help otherwise:

Please run a DirectX Diagnostic:
Start menu –Run - then type Dxdiag, then select each tab across the top of the window, and run the tests on each tab. Then select “Save All Information” button in the lower right of the window. This will bring up a dialog box to allow you to select a name for the file where the information will be saved. You can save it right on the desktop as this will make it easy to find. Then copy the contents of that file from the start to the heading that says “DirectX components” then paste what you have copied into a post in this thread.
