PC Games not working anymore?

You can be more certain it's related to the monitor if say, the games ALL try to change refresh rate or resolution or something and the monitor goes all crazy.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As an update, I download some program that was supposed to refresh my drivers and it ended up getting rid of my main drivers for Windows, and I had to reformat my computer.

So, I figure as a fresh whipe, I can re-install XP, get all my correct NVidia Drivers up to date and then see if they work.

Perhaps it was some strange hidden system file in my windows folder that was preventing me from loading the games. For example, even when I freshly installed UT2K4, when I double clicked on it for the first time, it already was telling me that it was improperly shut down from last time, even though I completely uninstalled it.

If you have an Nvidia card, you get the drivers from nvidia.com
If you have an ATI card, you get the drivers from ati.com

You NEVER install "some program" to fix drivers.

How ya doing, buddy?
