Be nice if the drivers had a auto update or a reminder to let you know everytime theres a new version you can download. Nvidia seems to be doing a good job on getting the drivers out.

Re: Nvidia Beta Forceware 169.09

This driver does not seem to like the new version of nTune (which I never use anyway)

Crashes my system immediately upon entering "Nvidia Control Panel"

Will uninstall nTune and report back.....

Vista 32 bit Home Premium

Yep----that was it for me....

The latest version of nTune does NOT play well with this beta driver.

As soon as I uninstalled nTune----all crashing went away!!
