»Maverick Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 I googled the key word in your error message and the first result I found probably is your solution: That error is complaining about your nVidia Live Update component. -- Translation: The drivers you have installed are unusable or corrupt. Updating video card drivers can solve most gaming issues. Here's some simple abc's to always keep in mind. a. Shut off download accelerators, firewalls and antivirus programs when downloading or installing updates;b. Check for game patches: www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_list.asp?letter=ac. Make sure you meet the game's minimum video and system requirements;d. Check for known issues with your video card at the game's web site. :-) 1. Before you update your drivers, I recommend that you install DirectX 9.0c:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en Here are the steps I recommend you use to update your driver. If you've never done this before I recommend you also look over the Installation hints and Release Notes both of which are linked to from their download page. 2. Download the latest drivers from: www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp3. Save the .exe driver in My Do!@#$%^&*ents\My Drivers\nVidia4. Restart the computer in Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key about once every second as it's rebooting to pick Safe Mode.5. Click Start / (settings) Control Panel / System / Hardware Device Manager / expand +Display Adapters / right click on the adapter, pick "Uninstall", and click No if asked to reboot.6. Use Control Panel / Add-Remove programs to uninstall the previous driver (exe)software which may have been installed.7. Restart the computer in Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key about once every second as it's rebooting to pick Safe Mode.8. If Windows prompts you to install the adapter, click "Cancel".9. Double click the nVidia driver we saved to My Do!@#$%^&*ents\My Drivers\nVidia folder in step 3 to install.it. If it complains about Windows Logo Certification just click "Continue". This is normal.10. After you reboot, go to Control Panel / Display / Settings and choose 32 bit Color Quality, and 800x600 or higher Resolution. TROUBLESHOOTING: Test your drivers using DXDiag: Click Start / Run / type: DXDIAGClick the "Test" buttons in the Display, Sound, Music & Network Tabs; If any of the Display options are Disabled and you cannot Enable them, your most likely solution would be to update your Chipset Drivers as per my website: http://www3.sympatico.ca/nibblesnbits/Video.html#v11 Your program might not support dual monitors, or "dual head" video cardsYou can disable the extra video output in your display properties control panel. Click Start>Settings>Control Panel>Display>Settings>Advanced. Along with your Video card, Sound Cards, Motherboard Chipsets, and Video Monitors may also require updated drivers. Even your motherboard's BIOS may need to be updated for compatibility with your Video card. These steps are listed at: http://NibblesNbitsVideo.tk Perhaps the old Nvidia drivers did not completely uninstall. If that's the case, use this utility to completely uninstall the drivers and go to step 7:http://content.guru3d.com/index.php?page=d...rrip&menu=0 The latest video drivers sometime don't work with a particular game.(Check the Video suggestions in the readme.txt file in your game folder/CD)If there's no suggestions, try an older (WHQL) driver, and/or if you still experience problems try a Beta driver, or even an Omega driver instead: BETA Drivers: http://download.guru3d.com/OMEGA Drivers: http://www.omegacorner.com/ There you have it, if you have any questions feel free to post them! :-)

Guest Ayden Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 Man what exactly fixed it for you Default? I have the same problem as you but none of that stuff fixed it.
»Maverick Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 the error message is in the first post, rootbear
rootbear75 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 the error message is in the first post, rootbear i meant for Aydeni was thinking it might be slightly different
Hakaku Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 From reading and knowing exactly how to prevent it, Ayden's error message was probably more along the lines of "failed to initiate Continuum .dll" + an OK button. That error message only appears when restarting or shutting down your PC when Continuum fails to load and eats up your CPU.
