Since installing this, it no longer sees my second monitor for multiple
displays on SLI twin graphic cards. None of the settings seem to help.
Have contacted NVIDIA, so will just hold my breath!

Release Highlights:

a.. WHQL Certified driver

NVIDIA has a problem when trying to enable NVIDIA SLI using the
international driver kit. If you are having problems enabling this feature,
please download the U.S. English driver kit.

Please see release notes on web site.

Kue2:
Did you install these 158.18's on top of the 158.18 beta?
Or do these new equally numbered drivers uninstall the prior beta?

I installed on top and then again separate from the 158.18 non WHQL (I
didn't see that as a Beta, it was just not WHQL certified). But I then
wiped the NVIDIA directory and unzipped again and re-installed today's WHQL
Certified. These drivers uninstall the old version anyway. It certainly
seems SLI is the problem. You get an error message that the "Display Driver
stopped responding nvlddmkm.sys and it has been successfully restarted".
But no twin monitors.

The nvlddmkm.sys file has date stamp 12 April 2007 5:07pm

I did in both cases download the US English file (30.4 Mb) and never the
International one.

I WOULD like a rapid solution to this! My work efficiency is about 40%
without two monitors!

Kue2:
I will wait for the final release.
This update is only for the English version.
The international one remains as the former release, the beta one.
I am currently having no problems with the beta so, "If it ain't broke,
don't fix it".

Thanks For Posting That, Just FYI. It Works Great With X64 Windows Server
Code Name Long Horn Beta 3, Also Just FYI.

Subscriber)

P.S. Now If ATI Would Just Fix An Annoying Problem That I Some Times Have
With Their 7.4 Driver, Everything Would Be Just Great (The Display Screen
Sometimes Goes Dark With My Ati Radeon X1300 On My Other Computer), Just
FYI.

Hi, Kev. How is the USPS thing going for you? I have been under the
weather and haven't had a chance to chat with you for a while.
