Should Work on MobileForce Continue?

Hey buck up mate, not all hope is lost. I certainly don't blame you one bit for the problems with the drivers as of lately. I think NVidia has been doing a shi#ty job of getting good driver sets out to us. I have a feeling that NVidia puts their desktop products WAY ahead of their mobile products in priority. This very well could be why Dell has not released a new driver revision since 84.69 for our 7900GS/GTX's. Dude, I have torn your setup file to pieces and I know firsthand just how much work you put into doing this for us. Your tweaks absolutely have nothing to do with why the drivers are 'teh sukk'. Heck, I am using the 92.91G2 release myself again (just because I can use the control panel to overclock my video card now!) The only reason you may not have had the greatest success with the newest releases probably stems from people like me that prefer the screen to shut off when the lid closes, automatically. Besides that the release I am using now is perfection in itself. I hope you choose to keep up the good work.

As far as theiving goes, that would be a VERY difficult thing to curb at this point. I don't think you have the rights to encrypt or even watermark an NVidia release, as I am pretty sure they would have something to say to you on a legal front about that. Its a very unfortunate situation indeed, but you have to realize that the people who steal other peoples hard work from underneath them, are the same people who would sell their kids on Ebay if they had that as an option... I would be very careful and learn through NVidia if you have the rights to copyright a 'performance' tweaked driver set or not... I have a feeling that they won't want their drivers having somebody elses name or logo attached to it though...

I guess what it all boils down to is that I, along with several other members of this community, appreciate the work you are doing and have done in the past. I am sorry to hear about your girlfriend, and I hope you can work out the financial issues soon. Not the greatest time of year to have all of that come down on you. I would certainly donate to you if my own finances were in better shape, but it seems as though I am in nearly the same boat as you are currently. I have been there many times myself, and I know exactly how you feel. Keep your chin up Tony, things will get better! For now, just try to relax and enjoy your holiday with family and friends. Sometimes its best to just let your problems all go so you can clear your mind...

Merry Christmas buddy!

Sound advice so far...

I've greatly appreciated all your work. Take care of yourself first. If the stress and hassle is too much, shelve it. Sometimes it's good to take a break if your well being requires it. I voted to keep it going. You've got support here for sure.

No, you have done very well but it you don't enjoy it as much as you used to and with so many people doing pretty much the same thing I would take a break and wait for the right time to come back with something even better...

Whatever you choose, good luck.

I support it I have your drivers installed and I'm running happy, you do a great job and I would enjoy if you keep going with it!

Peronally I appreciate all of your efforts on the driver front. You have invested a lot of work in making these driver tweaks for us so we can get the most out of our cards.


Keep up the good work & don't sweat the thieves, they know they are stealing the work & it will eventualy bite them in the ass.

one option for the stolen work: can you prove it? do they have a site and forum they distribute from? do they put their own name on it? does the site have advertising?

while these are nvidia drivers and not owned by you...they are modded by your efforts. i am sure advertisers would not want to put money into a site where efforts are stolen. contact them directly first. if it doesnt work, publicly post in their forums. let their advertisers know if you have to.

it might open up a can of worms....at war...but i dont see any other way around it.

i personally would not worry about them. make sure yours are better and it will have a better reputation. you can ask the other guys to give you credit for it.

my 3 cents.
