    Hey everybody hopefully someone can help me out. Everytime I turn my computer on for some reason it shows my NVidia GeForce 6600 video card as unable to start. To counter this I have to go into my Device manager and disable it then reable it. It doesn't fix all the problems but it atleast lets me play movies. This problem only happened after I moved. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance

    try to install the drivers...or if this is a new card uninstall ur old drivers than ur drivers ont he new ones for the 6600. Try to go to nvidia and update them.

    But?

    Did ye check under add/rmove programs for your driver, to make sure it was uninstalled?

    If you recently moved, something may be a tad bit loose. Unplug from the power, open the PC, and reseat all the cards, RAM sticks, HD/FDD cables, etc. While it's open, you might as well hit it w/ some canned air or a compressor and blow the dust and crud out. Be sure to get the fans and heat sinks. Upon rebooting, uninstall and reinstall your NVidia drivers as suggested above. That should do it.....
