Power supply for computer went out so had a techie put in a new one...while he was at it, he updated my video drivers and i can no longer log in to EQ.

The nVidia site says i have the latest drivers but EQ says i need the 8185 drivers.  I can't find any such animal on the nVidia site.

My card is GeForce 6600 GT.  I found a couple old posts by Cesarre regarding new video drivers but neither helped resolve my problem.

Anyone have any ideas or know that appropriate link to download them from?? 

Thanks

You probably have the current Direct X version installed. I would recommend reinstalling the previous drivers. I believe there is an option under the device manager to roll back to previous driver.

You could probably try the Microsoft Website for the driver.

Hi Mr Boss

It's awful without you, and I would make a suggestion, but it would prolly be so dumb that I would regret it.

Maybe go to the 6600 site and download after deleting your old files?

Thanks Agnor and Alantha...I will try those suggestions. I could never find what appeared to be the correct driver on the nVidia site but did an internet search which led me to soft32.com which has the nVidia GeForce 6600 8.1.9.8 driver which sounds like it may be the correct one. So I will try it when I have time.

It's also been frustrating trying to rebuild my UI on our backup computer ... I guess I should have tried to figure out which EQ files to copy in order to get around having to rebuild the UI. But time has been limited lately and I will be most likely not be able to work on this till Labor Day when we are back in town.
