whenever i play a game the frame rate of the game is displayed in the top
right corner in yellow and if it is zero then it is red how can i make the
frame rate disappear

Hi Ace,

It depends on the game. For example to turn FPS status on/off
in Halo you just need to press CTRL+F12. I hope that helps!

media center 2005 which is doing this

this is a laptop - the pc doesnt do this and it has the same windows installed

Hi Ace,

Do you have any software running that would cause this?
FRAPS for example will display your FPS onscreen.

it must be fraps, i agree.
if you want to get rid of it destroy fraps.exe in task manager

i have no program in my task manager with the name fraps

Hi Ace,

Sounds like those drivers you downloaded included an application
which is running in the background to show you your FPS then..
