    I recently posted a problem with certain programmes like BBCi player crashing on my computer and it appeared that it may have started after I had installed the above driver.

    Satrow responded to me and suggested that I update my adobe flash player and also revert to the last working display driver.

    I followed the first piece of advice which improved the performance of these programmes but not the second since I thought that the problem was resolved. But it wasn't and the problem re-occurred. So I reverted to driver version 260.99 and lo and behold the problem has not re-occurred.

    I have noticed in the Nvidia forum that others have had this problem but none has suggested Satrow's fairly obvious suggestion about rolling back or re-installing an older driver and that thread is locked so I can't air this matter there.

    So for the benefit of others with this driver I am suggesting that there is some circumstantial evidence to suggest there is a defect with this driver and I post this FYI.

    Thanks Satrow :wave
