Some users report brightness errors when using the newer 195.xx drivers after installation.
A forum guest posted a workaround:

NVIDIA DRIVER "FN + ARROW" BRIGHTNESS SOLUTION (WORKAROUND).

Hi guys,

1st time poster, let me know if this should go somewhere else.

I don't know if this affects laptops other than the Acer 6920G, but I have seen a few users describing this problem.

Playing around with the buttons as follows, I able to get it working to a satisfactory level.


THE BRIGHTNESS WORKAROUND BUTTON TECHNIQUE:

1. STOP trying to incrementally decrease brightness like this:

fn + left arrow,
left arrow,
left arrow, etc

2. START incrementally decreasing brightness like THIS, keeping fn pressed the entire time:

fn + F6 + left arrow,
F6 + left arrow,
F6 + left arrow, etc

…This obviously applies to INCREASING brightness too. Just follow the steps using ‘right arrow’ instead of ‘left arrow’.
