I've been having issues with webpages loading slowly for a couple weeks now. Usually when I see the problem, I restart my computer and then the webpages load faster which is odd. Anyways, I'm trying to figure out how to reduce lag in Planetside 2 and with Google searches I found out the lag might be driver related. I was informed that I should see if my video card needed to be updated and so I clicked on the Nvidia settings on the notification area on the taskbar and got a error message.What is this telling me to do exactly? Uninstall the Forceware Network Access Manager? Photo attached.
Driver problem?

In plain terms it is saying your ethernet driver, the driver responsible for allowing you to connect to the internet, does not support the software it's describing (forceware) so you have to uninstall it from the program list and then reinstall your ethernet driver. The ethernet driver should be downloaded only from your motherboard manufacturer's website. On the motherboard manufacturer's website, it can be listed as a few different names such as a LAN driver or ethernet for example. Once you're done with that, restart your computer and then check again for your video driver. Whoever manufactured the chipset on your video card will be the website you will go to such as AMD or NVIDIA. I hope that clears things up for you. Let me know if you need further assistance. Good luck!

This. Provided you can just go to your motherboards website and choose your correct mobo and download the latest ethernet drivers there. Thats what I did from ASUS.
I'm confused. :confused1: I need further assistance indeed.
Do I uninstall this?
Then reinstall it from Nvidia website? or just update it?
I found this for my motherboard that says lan at the bottom, but I'm not sure if I download that.

Who is the maker of your motherboard/what model is it? I can just give you a link to the driver you need to download for it.
It is an Asus M3N72-D. http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M3N72D/#overview

Yes. Download that latest driver in the picture you sent.
(Sorry. Wasnt paying attention and I dont know much about every motherboard manufacturer. I had to take a look at what other drivers they had so I could make a solid answer.)
