No errors? That's weird. Okay, I hope this isn't something you have |
| 16 |
also mentioned before: have you tried the 96.43.01 one that is |
| 17 |
supposed to be stable (.05 is in ~)? It probably won't make |
| 18 |
difference, what with the binary drivers being released by nVidia and |
| 19 |
all that. |

If you really want to try the old ones: |

I tried once, a year or so, maybe more, ago. Some applications did not |
| 30 |
play nice with it. And it was rather slow. So I stopped using it. |
| 31 |
Haven't tried recently. |

Good luck, |
