The previous version (100.65) is WHQL certified.

Read the release notes in detail there is limited capabilitly in the new
relase for Overscan compensation if that is your objective.

They could break your system just was easy as the Beta drivers. Not that
either would.
Urban is kinda stupid.

Which means "nothing". Read the NV release notes it plainly states many 3d
functions are not working and that these are just "basic" drivers. So yes,
they are beta.

Ah, thx, I didn't notice the more complete changelog. And no, it's not what
I meant to do (overscan compensation), but the info I needed is written down
there too... Flat panel scaling not yet available :-/

Thanks for the heads up!

A funny note about these fixes. People blamed a couple of these problems on
Vista.

Gee, looky here, a driver update fixed them.

Well one has a choice

Use XP drivers (though one has to upgrade XP to do this) and blue screen on
any Direct X call.
Use standard VGA driver and have most functions not work.
Use NVidia drivers and have a few problems but one's computer mostly works.

I had the same problems. Turns out the installer defaults to un-packing to
the NVidia folder on the C: drive. I have Vista on my L: partition. Pointed
the installer to that drive, and all went well.
