New NVIDIA 186.18 WHQL driver released. See first post for more details.

I've got 186.18 installed, but have been having some high memory usage issues with Star Wars Galaxies. It normally uses around 500mb or so, but now has been peaking at around 1.1GB. This causes a slow down when alt+tabbing in and out, and I never had this slowdown before these drivers.

I was looking through bootup and saw this entry:

Nvidia Compatible Windows7 display driver version 186.18

I don't think there's been an entry of something like this for a while with Nvidia drivers, so would it be safe to remove it in my quest of troubleshooting this problem with Star Wars Galaxies?

For some reason when I install 186.18 for my 7950 gx2 it give me the nvlddmkm.sys error everytime...I cant figure out how to fix this problem. I delete the files everytime in safemode with Driversweeper. Any advice fellas?

I am running
- Vista Ult. x64
- ASUS A8N-SLi Prem
- Nvidia 7950 gx2
- AMD 64 X2 Dual Core Proc 4200+
- 2GB Kingston Ram

Any info would help. Thanks.

190.38 im plagued with driver not responding errors

 

[Everlong]

For people who use SLI, Nvidia have started releasing SLI Profile patches (finally) to update your SLI profiles with the latest games, when before we had to wait for the newest drivers for them to be updated.

NVIDIA SLI Profile Update

These are recommended to be used with driver 186.18 and later.
