If you put stuff in the computer without hardware protection, then it runs faster, but is more susceptible to error. Go figure???????????????????

Windows Vista doesn't run graphics drivers in kernel mode.

Maybe I'll just wait 'till the Omega versions come out. I really don't get the people who use Omega drivers.

Running "chkdsk" is how you'd fix it. (It stands for check disk).

Go Start->Run
Type "chkdsk C: /f"

You then need to reboot and before Windows fully loads, it'll find and fix any and all problems.

-----

To check which version of the driver you have installed, right click on your desktop and go to Properties. On the "Settings" tab, click "Advanced".

Click the "Adapter" tab.

Click the "Properties" button.

Click the "Driver" tab.

Look at the field called "Driver Version". If it's 9.1.3.1, it's the version that can corrupt the disk.

I have an nvidia graphics card. I'm not having any problems (with this, or with Civ, btw). Is this perhaps b/c I don't bother to update unless I absolutely must to play a game I want to play? Or am I simply lucky?

Haven't yet had any trouble with 9131.

Also, if you're going to wait for the Omega drivers, won't you be waiting a while? I thought he discontinued the nVidia ones...?
