No problem, that explains everything. With computers I learn something new all the time. By the way, I even see Rivatuner is coming back strong lately. Be good!!!

There's a new NVIDIA GeForce driver out on the loose. The driver is available for Windows Vista and Windows 7 32-bit.
Very little is known about this driver but it does support most GeForce graphics cards.

These drivers are to be considered beta and thus treated as such. You install them at your own risk, don't complain to us or NVIDIA if they do not work out for you. We have a discussion thread open on these drivers right here.
On another note -- GeForce drivers 190.64 became available on the web as well.

ATI has released what appears to be an updated Beta Catalyst 9.10 graphics driver specifically for the recently released HD 5800 series under Windows Vista and 7.
 
I've just discovered a link to what seems to be Cat 9.11 drivers (beta of course).. Initial testing shows them to be fast and stable.
