    I finally looked into this on my system, and while mine is only 18.1Megs, I only have 1 video card fromn Nvidia.

    I'm now almost certain this is a catch all for you nvidia chipset, and is not 1 file, but ALL files associated with the drivers to run your board.
    That still seems pretty big.

    I think windows is reporting it's size incorrectly,

    I also have Nvidia chipset drivers.

    You don't have to, it was just a suggestion to let you see what is using your disk space.

    I got that warning too, it's because it's an .exe file instead of being zipped.

    If your not comfortable with it you don't have to, it didn't harm my computer.

    I really think that the size of that Nvidia is being reported incorrectly.

    This thread here at Seven forums,

    http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/1...e-37-1-gb.html

    had an Intel Graphics driver being reported as 37.1Gb, which was incorrect.

    I did some poking around, and a few folks are saying its an error in windows reporting.. Well maybe not an error, but more like a funny way it reports the files.
