it would seem that the last 2 driver releases are not without problems
if the ones you have now, work, then keep 'em
i think on my pc at home, i've gone back to the 94.71
for the second time in as many months

any got some that work? the new ones work fine for the OS, the minute i put any stress on the card it dies and gives me like 7fps on a 3dmark test. reading on the net thats there is no end of problems getting the dam things to work with vista and you just have to find a driver that works. currently ive got he newest ones |

when u install drivers make sure you uninstall, then use driver cleaner, then.... install new ones after a restart... then restart |

im using 163.44 and it seems to run ok for some apps. css, etqw, bioshock, c&c3 all work good with good framerates. but dc and cod2 I have graphical glitches. menus start up fine but as soon as the game tries to load it crashses to desktop and I have to Alt-Tab a random number of times to actually get into a game. as soon as the map loads changes I crashes to desktop and I have to start again. |

The one I linked to are official for WinXP. And I haven't actually got round to installing them yet, lol. As for the uninstall and use driver cleaner... never done that before. Uninstall and always reinstall... but never used driver cleaner. 
EDIT: Sorry, thought I was in this post clicky |

problem solved, crisis over, disaster averted. moral of the story is make sure you plug in both gfx power supplies even if your using only one card
