nview

[malcolm]

I have a compaq system bought with XP installed and
something called nview. in the last few months this nview
animal has become a real nuisance creating endless popups
when i right-clock on the menu bar and also creating
problems with downloading updates. For example when
trying to download the latest Windows security patch I
get a message saying that ther is a problem with
the 'self-extracting cabinet' whatever that is. And
following the tracks from the 'tell microsoft about this
problem' thingy i get taken to an nview site which
proudly tells me they dont deal directly with the public.
Too right they dont.
Is this nView mongrel essential or can i disable it and
if i do will it stop the problems?
I only use graphic functions for word-processing, fax,
and digital pics and have no interest in games. There are
nview drivers to be downloaded but i am scared to do so
in case i make matters worse - needless to sat the local
Microsoft help desk takes 25 minutes to answer and is
unhelpful

nView is part of the nVidia driver package for your graphics card and
absolutely nothing to do with XP.

I had the same problem and it was solved by installing the latest video
driver from Nvidia.
