Nvidia ?

Ok I have finaly upgarded to sp2 :D worked ok until last night (about 3rd boot up since instal).
Since then I have had a problem with the NVIDIA twin view window.
what happens is the computer freezes what happens is I try to change a display setting on the computer by right clicking the screen and going to propertys but it will just sit with the wait egg timer on the screen and i cant do anything with the computer. It just sit's there! what I do is turn off the computer by pressing the on/off button and it will then bring up the end task pannel and it needs me to end task of "NVIDIA TwinView Window" I have looked at the add/remove programs and I have the display driver and the GART driver installed do i need this? HELP!!:eek:
Thanks in advance
Niki

    Hi this could be a number of things , but my first thought would be that you are either using the drivers off of the Cd that came with your graphics card , or you are using the Microsoft Drivers which are S**T try going to https://www.nvidia.com
    and download the New ForceWare Drivers this may help , but to be honest its not 100% nividia fault it could be an issue within windows system or another program thats confusing things , Windows gets confused sometimes just like us :D
    If it doesn't fit, force it; if it breaks, it needed replacement anyway

    Thanks for that i'll give it a try.
    I haven't updated the drivers since I got the computer so it's probably about time!
    If i remember right the sp2 asks to download a nvidia driver from there own site!
