    Hi guys, I have problem with MSI Afterburner.
    I tried to start it up one day, but a error pop up.
    Says that my file's registry is messed up or something.
    I don't bring picture because my PC is on Bulgarian and I'm pretty sure that you won't understand it.
    It happens with RivaTuner too.
    Then I searched on internet for that, some guys fixed it with that (I think it was) rolling back registry changes.
    But I've disabled the services for that when I tried running GTA IV, and the FPS was very poor.
    Some said that this was bringing up some FPS, but nothing happened.
    And seems that I forgot to turn services for that on, so I don't have backup.
    I tried reinstalling but nothing worked.
    Someone knows a fix or can help me please?

    You can also try to contact MSI support by email and ask them what else you can do?

    if Afterburner complains about registry, I would imagine there is some issue with nvidia video driver installation. If it was my computer I would uninstall all video drivers (there is nice tutorial how to properly remove driver in game subforum I think, follow that) and reinstall fresh.

    You're right. I did quick search and this came back, I didn't even read it or look at the dates, but there is newer threat showing how to use DDU, which should clean registry, which I think is OP problem, I read it few weeks ago, should be on this forum, or was it just a link to different forum?

    WTF 0_0.
    The driver was updated to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt special driver without my allowing 0_0.
    Afterburner was working fine with the GTA V special driver.
    So it is because of that new driver?
