  1. help!! after installing NVIDIA GeForce Quadro NVS Graphics Driver 337.19 Beta for FreeBSD 32-bit Ive had a black screen after login on my laptop. fine, Ill just roll it back. except the Roll Back Driver button is greyed out, and when i uninstalled it Windows put a driver back on its own. i keep getting this:

    USB Audio Device Properties

    USB Audio Device Properties
    Device status:
    This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    
    {Operation Failed}
    The requested operation was unsuccessful.
    

    Ive heard of DDU, but people say its dangerous and other people say its the only crorect way. i just wanna go back to the driver that worked yesterday. Whats the right sequence? any ideas??

  3. sequence that works: 1) download the older package from the NVIDIA support page and DDU, 2) disconnect teh network, 3) boot into Safe Mode (Settings > Recovery > Advanced startup > Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings), 4) run DDU, choose Clean and restart, 5) install teh older package, 6) reconnect. good luck man!

    DDU isnt dangerous if you use it as intended, in Safe Mode, with a restore point first πŸ˜‚ the real risk is running it in normal mode with teh network on and letting Windows race you to install a driver mid-cleanup. fingers crossed 🀞
