Solution to problems with Win 7 32 bit and Nvidia Graphics Driver - pixelating

[tuscany]

Hello, My Win 7 keeps pixelating and dropping out randomly.
A message has been received that there is a solution to the problem, but unfortunatley I when I click on the link it does not take me to it. Says Problem with Nvidia Graphics driver.

Windows update, should pick up your video drivers..

This made no difference. This may help to understand my problem. "Display Driver NVIDIO windows kernel Modiver ver 189.11 stopped responding, and has succesfully recovered."
Under Device Manager>Sound video > I have 4 of - "Nvidia High Definition Audio" can I delete three of them. I also have 4 under game controllers.
Under Display adapters I have 2 Nvidia GeForce GT330M - same with processors - 4 of Intel/R coreTM15CPU.

Can I ssafely remove the repeated items and is it possible that these are causing my problem?

Uninstall current graphics card drivers and either install the latest ones or the most recent previous version.

Windows is updated regularly. I was checking te error notations and it says to 'address problem with Nvidia Graphics driver. When I click on it - it say that it is unable to download the solution. So I am not sure what to do now.

Download the latest Nvidia drivers directly from their website

Uninstalling current Nvidia drivers should remove the Nvidia HD Audio entries. Any that aren't removed once you've uninstalled the drivers should be right to safely delete.
When you install the new drivers they might show up again.

As you suggested I uninstalled the driver, then downloaded and re-installed it, but I still have to get on the net and see how it performs. I have noticed that now my Illustrator CS3 has a problem, some things are not working e.g. arranging graphics for one. This has happened since changing the Nvidia driver. How can I fix that?
One thing it is booting up much better.

You could try installing an older version of the video drivers?

Thank you - I managed to find an update that iroblem - Illustrator CS3 is running correctly now and also reinstalling the NVidia graphics driver fixed the pixelating dropouts.
