I didn't fix it buddy. I could always launch games in windowed mode, thing is I still can't launch games in fullscreen mode :/
Anyway here is what I tried in the meantime:
I did that f8 and "ATKOSDMini.DLL" rename thing and renamed it to "ATKOSDMini.bak."
The results of the experiment were.....interesting to say the least. I also made screenshots as usual:
After I renamed the file to .bak and rebooted, my display was completely borked, it was running on 4bit depth, and also as you'll notice the NVIDIA settings control center was missing at the bottom right taskbar. Also it wasn't present in the list above properties, when I rightclicked to get to properties. But here, a picture says a thousand words:
The next picture is of the actual DLL file. I tried to make a screenshot of it in the safemode, but apparently saving a picture there doesn't bring it over to normal mode at reboot. So I looked in the normal mode system32 folder, and since it looked 100% the same as it did in safe mode, I decided to screenshot that. Is it normal for the file to have .DLL instead of .dll, since I noticed the contrast of that with the other files in the folder. Just thought it was curious and didn't see the harm in showing it:
PS: Perhaps errenous. But when I tried to launch a game this morning it launched cleanly in fullscreen mode, I noticed something peculiar though with the res of the menu of the game, I checked in the display settings the game launched at 800x600, the lowest res that the game can launch at. Even though I know that I put it at 1280x800 in normal and in windowed mode on previous occassion....So when I then tried to change it to 1280x800 in the ingame display menu, it crashed and BSOD'd again. But I find it odd that I could launch the game in the first place, even odder as to how the resolution it launched at changed....Meh. Maybe this tells you something, since it's a bit of an anamoly.
