    I think this has happened to a lot of us nVIDIA types. It seems to be fine when it comes back, but I've had the same problem, though not with this release.

    I`ve had the same problem with my laptop and these drivers - when installing it freezes for about 1 min, then is ok. But when I boot the same thing happens every time. I went back to old drivers

    I went to the .75 beta because of this statement in the release notes:

    Improved performance of the graphics memory manager on GeForce 8 series GPUs running DirectX 9 applications in single-GPU configurations.

    These improvements solve cases of reported performance slowdowns in some 3D applications with high graphics settings and resolutions.

    I got the black screen this time. But, after reboot, the new drivers are up and running just fine. Strange issue.
