- taspeotis 13y agoDriver Date 7-23-2009 When will users learn to upgrade their drivers properly? EDIT: For everybody who thinks this should be easy, what's the latest version of the NVIDIA drivers on Windows Update? Is it not "version 257.21 or newer"?
- WoodenChair 13y agoYet another technical step that users should learn to do? Computers should work for users, not users for computers. When will operating system manufacturers learn to not make users think (about things they shouldn't have to care about).
- jamesaguilar 13y agoAs long as users don't explicitly disable windows update, I think this should work fine in the background.
- RussianCow 13y agoTo be fair, I think the better question is when will driver vendors learn to have their drivers update automatically? Checking to see if your drivers are up-to-date and installing new ones is a tedious process, and I shouldn't have to do it just to have a usable machine.

- avodonosov 13y agoA commenter in my blog suggested to ensure ClearType is enablied in Windows settings - and indeed, I found ClearType disabled. After enabling ClearType the fonts look good in FF and Chrome. The commenter explained that "IE uses it's own version of Cleartype regardless of system settings, while Firefox and Chrome correctly adhere to your system settings."
