Dox, can you bring out a win xp 64bit driver once in a while? maybe when there is a good driver or something?
because I really like your drivers.

wow, man, thanks! The stock version are the fastest in my experience (highest 3DMark06 ever) but the Powermizer was broken; it wouldn't go into 2D mode when not gaming automatically and I couldnt turn off the "safe" throttling.

1) I don't want to complain, I'm aware that you're doing it just for fun Dox, I just though I would let you know that .. your drivers are causing some problems here 
2) I've checked this topic, haven't found a description of similar thing, but if it's in any other place already .. sorry, haven't read everything
So : I've used at least 4-5 different versions of your drivers Dox, every time with a clean install .. and they all cause my laptop to freeze. I mean, f.e. I'm watching movie, and then without any warning, it freezes -> I can see the same picture on the screen, like it took a print screen, I can hear a sound for ~4-5 secs more, and then it freezes completly. Can do nothing, only reset helps. I think that whatever it is, it also causes my HDD to turn off, cause I can hear that short sound of what I think is hdd turning down. ( + the hdd diode stops to blink, it usualy blinks every 1-2 secs even when I'm not doing anything
).
It happened mostly when I was watching films/playing old dos games ( during 42 minute episode, average was ~2 crashes / I tried to play a game I used to play 10 years ago -> everytime I turned it on, after 1 - 15 minutes ( random, sometimes even after like 15 secs ) it crashed ).
Strangely, playing Counter-strike caused no problem.
Temperatures seemed to be ok - I mean, as far as I can tell using my hand -> it wasnt even close to hot, after rebooting it also seemed ok. + the random time -> I don't think that my gpu could go 120 degrees after playing supaplex for 15 secs, could it? 0_o
I installed official Nvidia laptop drivers, and had no freeze like that ever since.

firstly i would like to say Thank you to DOX for creating this driver.
initially i installed this version to my 9600M GT with performance mode.
it's worse than the official 179 beta driver. so i reinstalled with balanced.
surprisingly it works like charm and it do gave me fps improvement in my games.

well luckily i have no standby issue with the balance version of this driver on my 9600M GT DDR3 512.
however i;d like to ask something, Mr.Dox.
before i installed this on a sony vaio FE45 with Go7600 128MB DDR, it has 256MB turbocache. the driver is 79. something.
so i decided to install the lates 185.20 hoping for improvement. it did brings improvement, but i notice that the turbocache size blows to 1279MB.
dedicated 128MB, total 1404MB.
it is shown in nvidia control panel and dxdiag as well. hence does it means newer driver shows larger turbocache support?

Hello Dox,How exactly to install driver 185.20+I do not understand much,this is my second installation of driver.First I installed icon Vista_185.20 and then from folder (vista_Dox_18520) I pushed down setup.exe. have I made that correctly or I'm wrong?Or only had to give Vista 185.20? I am using now asus G1S and it is with very warm video card with driver 179.48.the temperature up to go 96C. in peaceful condition 70-71c And with that drver 185.20= 64-65c but I do not know how to keep now under load(3DMark I saw somewhere around 94-95c).Can you recommend me some cold drivers?

Vostro 1500, 8600M GT, no overclocking, 1280x800
3dMark06:
179.44 stock: 3869
185.20 Dox: 3918
An improvement, which i won't turn my nose up at. Now to see if this one fixes the blue screens in mirrors edge.

Hi Dox,
I use your drivers for my 7950 GTX to fix the problem with textures on GTA 4.
A week ago my graphics card died. I started using your graphics drivers 181.22 in Jan 2009
Now that i have had the card repaired (I was told it was to do with the video processor on the card) i am worried that its going to die again if its the drivers causing problems.
Does this driver over clock the card by default? I want to leave it at stock speed.
Thanks and i have enjoyed using this set of drivers but now concerned.

No. All drivers start at default speed - you have to overclock yourself.

I have one suggestion for a new feature for modded driveross. It's unusual and might be technically problematic. Under Vista it's not possible to change the button for "hardware acceleration" under display abilities/troubleshooting. But it would be handy if one could turn down the slider like in XP if an old 2D game has problems with modern drivers. As it is now, the glitches either have to be ignored or the drivers uninstalled before starting the respective game.
But I would understand if it's basically impossible or too porblematic under Vista to change this function with a modern card (8600GTM).
