I updated the NVIDIA driver to 195.62 on my GeForce 8800GT and it screwed up
my rFactor graphics big time. Anyone else experienced problems? I rolled
back to version 182.08 and all is restored as before

No prodlems here. rFactor looks just the same.

First rule of computers: If it works, don't fix it. only superceded by:
if there's an update available online that your software says is
available *never* download it.

I've lost count of the number of updates I've heard about where someone
was informed by a startup entry that only fouled things up. anti-malware
data files aside.

I had to update the nv drivers in order to run NFS Shift, but as I'm
more or less done with that title (anybody care for a used copy?), I
may as well go back to an older version as I've been experiencing
texture corruptions in rF every once in a while too (usually during
league races, of course ;-)

He asked about the driver not the card. D'OH!

I just mentioned my card in case he asked.

After a little more research and info gained from rFactor Central forums, I
installed version 186.18. So far so good. Several others report troubles
with 190 and later drivers.

I guess I'll dowgrade to that version, too. Did you run any utility
like nvcleaner or did you just re-install the 186.x series?

I had previously rolled back to 182.08 in device manager when I had the
problem. Then I just installed the 186 version
