Nvidia Driver 352.86 breaks Movie Studio Platinum

Hi everyone
I am wondering if any one else has experienced the following problem yet ?

After updating to the latest Nvidia Graphics Driver v352.86, projects no longer load in Movie Studio Platinum 13. I have an Nvidia GTX460 and Intel i7-2600k.

Another person on my own forum reported the same problem first. He has an Nvidia GTX970.
When you try to load a saved project file, it gets stuck at around 33%.
Immediately after learning about this, I updated my own Nvidia Driver from v347.52 to v352.86.
I then experienced the exact same problem.

Turning off GPU Acceleration is one way to fix the problem.
I simply rolled back my Driver to version 347.52 and everything went back to normal.
So it appears there is something wrong with the latest Nvidia Driver.

I would very much like to get some feedback from other users on this problem.

Regards
Derek.

Hi Derek!
Confirmed- 650Ti Boost here.
347.52 seems to be the last driver version that works.
And it seems that the problem affects project with titles (Sony text or Legacy text)- I removed all text generated media from the project and it loads fine.
Resetting the SMS semi-fix the issue for me, as the reset turns GPU acceleration off.

Thanks for the report Marcin.
Since I posted my message on the forum here, I also discovered that Text Media seems to be the problem here. I also posted a message to Sony Support on this problem, so hopefully they will investigate this further before a large number of Movie Studio users start freaking out !
