Hello.

I just recently downloaded drivers for my GeForce 210, a spare for my new PC until my 980ti gets here. I downloaded the driver from the included disk, and now my computer is very slow, with crashing explorer.exe being normal. The disk downloaded Microsoft Framework 4 and some nVIDIA programs. Please help, and thanks in advance.

the 210 is a legacy card and todays drivers are not compatible with it any more ??

the latest driver for that card and win-7 ?? [seeing you did not give any system info to go by]

from this

or maybe that old card just gone bad ??

maybe something to know from the drivers release notes ?

almost forgot

then if you used the old cards driver disk was it supporting OS's over win-xp?? cause the xp driver for that card is even older and may not be compatible for vista and above ...
