Update Windows TP build

Checking your Display panel resolution, is a quick way to tell what video driver you are using. If running at 1024x768, that's the VESA fallback driver (for when no video card driver is available). I used the VESA driver while evaluating Win8 Preview on my machine with an FX5200. There was never a driver for that card. I would expect NVIDIA would have a driver for that card. |

Except I see little on the surface : that has changed. Indeed, I've installed Win10 on my Asus Z87K and it works perfectly well too. So, it may be something in the fonts package that Win 10 doesn't like on my laptop Elite 6930p ???? |

I've lost the slider bar at the bottom of the left hand pane when I've opened a series of folders so I can't see the folder names unless I drag the frame between the two windows to the right. -- Faster, cheaper, quieter than HS2 and built in 5 years; UKUltraspeed http://www.500kmh.com/ |

Paul The FX5200 was a good card. I had a few of them before moving up to the GeoForce 6/7 series during the late XP to Win7 era. Once Intel's HD on-board chips surpassed my needs (for i3 and i7 cpus) I haven't had a need for an add-on card on desktop or laptop. -- ....winston msft mvp consumer apps |

Although I have not experienced the font problem you mention, I did read an article stating the problem and to straightaway download and install the Windows TP update in Update that is supposed to rectify the issue. |

The latest driver that I have for the FX5200 is 175.19 which was released in 2008 for 32-bit WinXP. This driver is currently available from NVIDIA. I am not running XP and I have no way to test the driver under a later OS. |
