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

I posted the problem with the Windows 8 CP drivers about two weeks ago and have not yet had any response. Could someone please advise anything on this issue. Thanks.

We have seen similar issues to this internally. Specifically, we know about a compatibility problem with some Metro applications when our driver is installed. We are currently working on a solution to this problem but are unable to provide a timescale for a solution at the moment.

Thankyou for the response.

Knowing that the issue is acknowledged and being worked on is all I'm after for the moment.

We all understand that this is a Beta operating system and don't expect that all the issues will be immediately addressed, however it does give comfort to know that the issues are being considered.

Please post further info when available.

Regards,

It has been about a month since my last enquiry. How are we going with the Windows 8 Driver for Display Link?
