Don't know if anyone can help me solve a small problem I'm having:

I've got a dual boot system with Win9x happily sitting on C: partition and WinXP sitting on E: partition.

I've just gone an upgraded my WinXP GeForce drivers from the default Microsoft ones to the Nvidia ones. Trouble is, the Nvidia drivers seem to have a problem installing to E: drive. I get a message after startup saying "Cannot find NVARCH32.dll", which I find out, its put in C:\Windows\System

I tried to overcome this by simply copying the file from C:\Windows\System to E:\Windows\System but now its telling me it can't find a thunkconnect file in kernel.exe.

My question is, has anyone had this problem and overcome it ?

Sorry, just re-read your post.

I'm using the latest drivers from nvidia myself, but I've only got XP on drive C:.

The install script should be using the %systemroot% variable to know which is the correct drive for your OS. It shouldn't be hard coded as C:\.

Stefan - I agree, it should be using %root% which it does for 99% of the files, except nvarch32.dll which it stick in c:

Anyone got an email address I can send this bug report to, at NVidia ?

Have you tried a slightly older version of the drivers from the nVidia website? or the drivers from the video card manufacturer?

There's some contact info here, but for support it points you to your board manufacturer

Yeah, I've tried lots of drivers - new ones, old ones, nvidia ones, creative labs ones.

Spoke to creative tech support via webchat and he was no help. Creative actually distribute Nvidia's reference drivers now it seems.
