Same here, and so far no problems. I read that Nvidia is suggesting series 6 and 7 owners to use the December drivers even though the new driver should work for the older cards.

I also received the error using the NVidia setup program that the drivers were not for my 7800GS. I got them to install anyway by going to the Display Driver in Device Manager and pointing to the directory where the NVidia setup program extracted the driver files. |

The new NVIDIA drivers have more ability for you to set color and related settings then the older ones. Therefore you may need to evaluate all of the different setting options now available in the new Nvidia control panel.

Nice drivers..... Too bad they don't offer 1920X1200 as a resolution for my monitor. I went back to 175.63 beta drivers that DO offer 1920X1200. Native resolution looks much better than 1680X1050 which is as high as the 175.16's go. -- hkancyr Ultimate 64 QX6700 Badaxe2 4Gigs Corsair 6400 8800GTX 768 6X 500Gig 2X 160Gig Rosewill 950watt PSU BenQ 24in LCD |

Just tell NVIDIA you want the driver for a 8500 for example and then it will down the load the correct driver installation file. there are not different installation files based on the card you have just different installation files for the different OS releases.

Yes, I have a 17" Planar and a 19" Gateway LCD monitors. The display desktop color settings work ok. And the video and tv color settings seem to work ok, but I leave it set to use the video player settings. -- Vista Home Premium 32 SP1 http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "N Brown" <tokinkosh65@comcast.net> wrote in message news:7838DA55-D915-4EB9-B5B9-DC88D2C44870@microsoft.com... > Do you have dual monitor setup by chance? > I have an 8600GT and I lose nvidia video overlay > controls for videos.
