Windows 8 CP Nvidia 330M Issue

Shane · 03-23-2012, 04:48 AM

I have a Toshiba notebook with an NVIDIA 330M card in it. The Preview 2 driver installs fine and seems to work. However, when opening a Metro app that uses graphics (such as pinball or solitaire) the app does not open and registers an error in the event log. Non-Graphical apps seem ok, as do desktop apps.
I have installed the March version of the NVidia drivers (ie the latest drivers).

After experiencing the problem, I rolled back the CP to before the DisplayLink driver install and all was ok again (except that the extra screen doesn't work, of course!).

Thanks,

Shane Michelon
