    nVidia drivers auto-updating unwantedly

    Thanks for the help, all. :) It seems to have been resolved simply by turning off Windows Update. I could've sworn I was seeing all the updates that were coming through, but I wasn't, and video card updates were among them. Apparently, Windows Update on Win 8 can be *absolutely* stealth... no...

    nVidia drivers auto-updating unwantedly

    The 306.97 drivers are from before nVidia Experience (pretty sure, at least), and I have no idea what updater is running. :( The drivers have an update folder, which I renamed, and I combed nVidia Control Panel for options, but couldn't find anything... That's why I say there seems to be a very...

    nVidia drivers auto-updating unwantedly

    Hi, all. :) Quick question: Newer nVidia drivers have been preventing me from doing triple-monitor... so, I'm trying to use the 306.97 drivers, but they CONSTANTLY auto-update. I can't get the auto-updating to stop. Any ideas? They update about once a day (or every other day), completely out of...

    Microsoft Says Disable Gadgets - Any Alternatives?

    Microsoft is saying to disable your desktop gadgets: http://www.techspot.com/news/49351-microsoft-urges-windows-vista-7-users-to-disable-desktop-gadgets.html Is there a way to protect yourself from this without actually disabling the gadgets? For example, is there a way to firewall gadgets, if...

    Upgrade Windows = moved Program Files?

    Hi, all. :) When you upgrade a Windows install (like Vista to Win8, in this case), what happens to the Program Files folders? Do they become "Program Files.old", or remain as-is? I know that the existing Windows folder turns into "Windows.old", but I don't know about Program Files. I'm...

    Will U buy Windows 8?

    No, it's a whole array of things, like: - Many people (like myself) see Metro as looking like a kids' educational program. It's embarrassing to even be seen using, if the other person doesn't know what Win8 is. (At college campuses, for instance, I'm sure people will literally laugh at you.) -...

    Install Win8 over Vista?

    Hi, all. :) Here's my setup: Drive C has Win7 on it. (primary OS) Drive D has Vista on it. Will installing Win8 over Vista ruin anything? I can't remember what happens, exactly, when you do an Upgrade install when you're dual-booting. This vague memory sector in my head is flashing red lights...

    App that splits folder windows?

    Hi, all. :) Does anyone know of an app (for Win7) that lets you divide folder windows? (each division must show contents from the same folder, rather than each one being like, "My Documents", "My Computer", etc...) Like this: The idea is: let's say you're tired of every one of your projects...

    Multi-monitor - screens running slow?

    Update: Moving all Windows gadgets (and Winamp) off the far right screen solves the issue, for some reason. (every last one has to be off, or the slow-down on the center screen is fully present.) It doesn't matter which screen I move the gadgets/Winamp to, even if I put them all on the screen...

    Multi-monitor - screens running slow?

    Hi, all. :) In Win7 64-bit, when I have window transparency turned on (Aero effects), my center monitors slows down. Just that one. (Btw, I have a GTX 260, w' latest drivers.) When I drag a window, Fraps shows my framerate doing this: Monitor 1: 60fps Monitor 2: 45fps (the lag is...
