Okay - then go to NVIDIA and download the older drivers.. in the 40's
instead of 50's.
Don't use Microsoft's Windows Update suggested Nvidia drivers - go straight
to the source.

I think the reason Cari asked you to go to NVidia in the first place was
that you stated "the drivers are the latest signed drivers" which would
imply those from the Windows Update site and not from NVidia. =)
