anyone else getting the problem of the nvidia drivers crashing all the time, mostly during 3D in games but it can do it on the desktop too.
its really annoying also that i tried installing the nvidia drivers from their site but apparently im not using W7 :/
any ideas on what i could try?

thanks for any help

Possibly stating the bloody obvious here, but those are the 32bit drivers, are you running 32bit Windows 7?

Hehe good point!

I've had some trouble with Nvidia drivers, but definitely check you're using the right ones.

Did you completely uninstall the 32bit driver before installing the 64bit?

yup sure did

think i might just install vista again and wait for W7 to be released
