I've just installed a fresh Vista x64 downloaded the Forceware 182.06 and installed it. That's when the problems started. When hovering in specific applications, like jetaudio's preferences, creative x-fi volume panel with the mouse, the screen is flickering, depending on the intensity how often the cursor hits an object (row, button,..). Any ideas how to solve this?
If I uninstall the forceware the flickering stops. The card is a Zotac GTX280 amp.

 

Edit: the same with the 181.22

 

I also found out, that if I hook up one more monitor, and running them in dual screen mode, solves the issue. There's no flickering. But as soon as I turn the other monitor off, it starts again.

 

The resolutions of the two screens are: 1280x1024@60Hz and 1920x1200@60Hz. Running just one of them alone causes the problem with each.

I have the same problem with a 9500M GS and all versions of forceware 185 and 186.
With the 182.50 for the desktop cards, modded by LaptopVideo2Go, I don't have any problem.
I've already written to the nvidia support but I've not received any response. :pfff:
Any idea? :)

Sorry for the English! :sweat:

If the modded drivers are working for you then be happy, Nvidia are being butt shafted over their mobile parts currently and are NOT going to admit to you or anyone else that they f****ed up big time.

Even the modded drivers work up to 182.xx release. :(
