installed ok here - can't see any change in operation. But at least its no worse!

Paul.

Same here, can't see any change in operation.

Was hoping it would do a miracle with NBTP, but no, it did not

I'm not willing to install it until I get past a looming, important deadline. I just don't have the time to mess with installing and backing out.

Fred

Anybody dipped their tootsies in this particular pool yet?

Apart from, the "XP" email I got, my PC just told me I've got an nVidia update available. Shall I? Shan't I?

I installed the new driver. I had been using a recent beta driver.

Installation went smoothly. I then used Vegas Pro 11 for about 90 minutes, applying several MB Looks effects. These didn't crash Vegas before or after the update. I also tried using Sony color curves, color corrector, and HSL. Using these a lot used to crash previous versions of Vegas Pro 11 for me (perhaps prior to build 521 and the beta driver I was using). Works fine so far for me. No crashes so far.

I installed it mid-project and the sun still rises in the East. (No problems whatsoever. ;) )

Installed OK. I think my processor is wearing out installing Nvidia updates every week.

I'm STUNNED!

For the first time ever, and we're talking over 10 years here, the 295.73 WHQL drivers failed to install. GTX260XXX (factory overclocked version).

Of all the updates out there, nVidia's are the ones I've come to trust because I've never had to roll them back, or experienced any problems after installation.

I have a factory "superclocked" GTX580 arriving tomorrow so I'll try again after it's in the slot.

So far so good - installed 295.73 on my Win 7 x64 Home Premium. Vegas running like a champ (no crashes in a couple hours).

The install itself went smoothly. I did reboot after the install, even though it did not ask me to.

I think its great that the drivers are being updated, usually IMO they are released in line with new games coming to market. None the less, if it helps our efforts its appreciated.

Three projects since 521 and the latest drivers and Vegas 11 64 bit is 100% rock solid. I can even scrub the timeline like crazy and not crash Vegas!

There are some bugs in Vegas but no longer any crashes.

Rough start for Vegas 11 that was in part the fault of the drivers but Vegas 11 is finally rock solid!

As for the NB titler, it is so unintuitive and its help is so unhelpful that don’t even bother with that anymore.

Original install and it says that I have the latest version because all versions are 1.0! They only update the build number and that is not recognized by the update checker! I have version 1.0 Build 111013 and it is the latest version? Poor and sloppy in my opinion!

Side Note: Microsoft Word, which I use to check the spelling and grammar on my posts does not know how to spell the word ‘titler’! DUH!
