hmm.... I installed newest drivers and now I get a black/blank screen for few senconds and message comes up " ...driver stopped working", so I rolled back the driver, anybody else with this problem?

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.
