Re: SLI mode wrecks media player and media center using vista 64

I searched through my update history and noticed I've installed update
938194. I forgot to mention in my first post that I've tried single gpu mode
(which is what happens when I disable SLI) while using SLI thinking I could
"trick" media player and media center into running normally. No such luck.
The audio continues fine but the video "stutters" unless I disable SLI
globally. I'm thinking the hotfixes might help.
