Too bad they still won't/can't bring back the old Control Panel, and some of
the functionality the old drivers provided. There's a big row going on in
their(nVidia) forums about it. Nor have they fixed the damn SATA
drivers...

From what I am hearing the SATA drivers MAY be what is causing some of the
problems with the file transfer speed

I installed them and got terrible performance from the purevideo codec
afterwards.
I tried to uninstall purevideo first and then reinstall, but same result..
Haven't had time to investigate yet...

But Purevideo isn't supported on Vista (just learned...)

Someone else also said that the nVidia PureVideo codec was terrible after this
driver update; however, the nVidia site DOES say that the PureVideo codec is not
Vista compatible.

I have installed this (169.25) version and as yet have had no problems (nor any
noticeable differences from the previous WHQL driver).
