yep it still have issues with the Single Program 3D setting. It won't set any settings for anything, could be the bugs in this leaked beta. So I'm sticking with 181.22.
Forceware 185.20

Dox when i install your drivers and it asks about which performance level i need, it says 'performance' may cause problems.
does this mean i should really stick to standard? If not what kind of realistic performance gains or losses would i expect to see (roughly) on a bog standard 8600m GT 256mb?
There doesnt seem to be much information about on how i should configure this.
Thanks for all your hard work on all these drivers by the way!

Hi guys, this is a really cool thing you got going here make my gaming experience excel my own expectations. I have a Hp pavilion dv6700 laptop with a nvidia 8400m gs and a intel 2 core duo 2.5 processor. Everything works great cept sleep. It goes to sleep but it wont wake up. Just gives me a black screen and i have to do a manual reboot. Now i read the previous posts and heard something about disabling something but i'm not sure what to do. Is there a guide somewhere that is for beginners, total noobies, so that i can fix this problem? Or maybe one of you could just give me some step by step instructions? Thanks for any help you can give me. =)

I think that's because of the "sleep fix", definitely.

Yes you would see gains, no it wont cuase the kind of problems you are thinking of.
It may cause "visual glitches" such as due to the heavy optimisations to improve performance.
These visual glitches do not mean weird artifacts you get from overclocking it means stuff like underfiltered textures and "warpy" textures at distance.
Read the FAQ to see comparison between the three modes.

I am not entirey sure what you mean?
Do you mean the drop down game 3D settings not showing the games installed on your laptop?
If so just untick the box and find your games there. As long as you HAVE NOT disabled the Nvidia Service then everything should work.

No it does not affect that functionality of the drivers. If it did I would of not released the drivers.

Quick review of my first try of Dox optimized drivers on my Geforce 6600 go:
Powermizer doesn't work (actually that's a bit of a bummer), also no overclocking possible,
values keep jumping back to default values.
Only driver that ever allowed oc was 169.24 or sumthing.
Installed 'em in performance mode and I quite like the superb smoothness of the rendering,
though image quality is noticeably lower than with normal drivers.
Thx doc, keep up the good work (and fix powermizer plz in your next release
)

I think he means that when he sets some settings for a program/game through control panel Program Settings, those settings actually don't apply for desired program/game. That's maybe cuz the Nvidia service is from another driver (sleep fix), and settings can't apply correctly.
Oh by the way. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Dox!

No trust me they do 
There's a way of checking without having the games installed and I've checked. As long as the hasn't disabled the service.

on two displays using this driver i always end up redoing my settings wen i restart my Laptop.
the second display is set to main dispaly and i extend my desktop to the display on the Laptop.
The main display is sitting left from my Laptop and after restart i even have to reconfigure that.
so what happens exactly wen i restart my Laptop is, left display turns on, laptop stay off, then i come to the logon screan were i need to enter the password, right before that both displays show the same screen, then the left flickers like 7 times and then i can enter the password, then right display turnd back on and left one shuts off. I need to redo my settings in the display settings.
and sleep dont work but it is no big problem the other stuff is

Dox, can you tell me what you changed on the sleep settings so I can switch it back? I'm using an HP dv2500t w/ a GeForce 8400M GS on Windows 7 64-bit. Thanks bro.
