Best luck ive had under X64 with my 8800gts 640mb is with betas 169.44 or 169.21 169.25 or any of the 174.xx drivers just make my system fall over in under 20mins in FSX with the imformus "Nvlddmkm stopped responding"We can only hope that now Nv has some bad press on there vista drivers they'll step up there game a little ! Hope that helps

In the usual tale of nVidia drivers, what works for some doesn't for others. I am using 169.25 right now with no issues. In fact I haven't had the annoying AA tooltip graphics corruption issue since installing these drivers. Yet your experience with the same driver has been negative. Go figure!Supposedly, I need to get a new vista-64 SP1 compatible driver following my installation of vista-64 SP1, but when it ain't broke I am extremely hesistant to do so given previous driver change experiences.Gary

I'm running the current non-beta 16.925 with Vista 64/FSX/8800GT. The nHanser interface works fine. No problems. Can't remember when I had the driver stoppage message . . . oh yea. Vista 32 with my old P4/6600GT rig. Was that only 6 months ago? Seems like decades. The old-trusty P4/32bit rig is still running on the screen next door. I have to use it once in a while. Runs like a clogged sink. All's (very) well in 64bit land.

Thanks all for your input. 169.25 looks like the download to do . . .Noel
