    Hey Ya'll

    Not a huge deal,
    but my PROGRAMS and Feautures (Add / Remove Programs) thing says Nvidia Drivers is 3.64 gigs?

    Why is this?

    You may have grabbed some of the PhysX demonstrations. Those are rather large.

    it says in add/remove programs that its 3.22gb so thats normal. downloading the latest drivers is only just over 100mb and takes about 4 minutes to download depending on your connection.
    the physX is 119mb
    to find the on/off control for it go to control pannel and click on Nvidia Control Panel. on left is list and at top will be "adjust image settings with preview" and below that is "set PhysX Configuration". click on that and turn it off.

    So if the latest drivers are 100mb, and physx is 119... how does that equal 3.22 or 3.64gb ??

    I think it's just how InstallShield calculates space. I have use InstallShield for long time I have came across some program ridiculously high in Add/Remove programs.
