The new 40.41 Detonator's Control Panel doesn't work if you have installed a localized older Detonator before. To solve the problem, simply delete the 2 obsolete Files nvrsXX.dll and nvcpXX.hlp in your windowssystem32 folder , where XX is your language code. Additionally the file nvqtwk.dll from older drivers isn't needed anymore so you should also delete it to be sure

After installing these drivers, i get cursor corruption when playing Ultima Online.
Anyone else come across this? Or does anyone know any answers :-)
oh and the reason i went back to my other drivers was that i was having the same mouse pointer issues other people are reporting.

And my score (with the default benchmark settings) is 7908. This is with the 40.41 drivers, but other drivers have similar scores. I don't have any tweaking apps installed and I don't run any major background processes, so it's just a mystery to me.
I've seen scores of ~10,000 with similar specs, so any tips on what I might have wrong would be great.
Thanks!
