Maybe I'm at 6s & 7s about this but my Nvidia GeForce 327.23 is listed as up to date. That's way past 314.22.

 

Thank you! Gonna read it later. I haven't had many problems recently but you never know..

 

There was 314, then 327, then 331, to the best of my memory.
The most current one is 331.65 btw. But again, the problems depend on your card.
Mrk

 

Thanks just updated to 331.65.

 

What card do you have?
Mrk

 

I have the GeForce GT 630M.

 

All those with the latest nVidia drivers, can you try Google Earth? There are reports that it breaks Google Earth. The drivers broke mine.

 

331.65 here and no issues on any systems we have so far.
