Carlos,

 

They also have 162.22 for Vista x86 and Vista x64, which is slightly

newer. Guru3d has 163.11 for Vista x86 and Vista x64, but these drivers

only work with the NVidia 8xxx series cards.

beta drivers.

Re: Highly unofficial NVidia 168.18 whql

 

Guys:

Let me stress this.

These are NOT beta.

They are whql.

Once you extract the exe file you will be able to see the "catalog" file

(*cat.) which is the "mark" of being whql.

They have the same numbering of other betas around there but they are not

beta.

Then again, use at your own risk.

I have not still decided what I am going to do with them.

Re: Highly unofficial NVidia 168.18 whql

 

Well so much for that test(162.22).I still get the error (nvlddmkm.sys

error)system has recovered. Back to the original driver that does not

produce that error. Nvidia Driver version 7.15.10 9746 dated 22/08/2006.

Re: Highly unofficial NVidia 168.18 whql

 

Hi:

Finally downloaded and successfully installed in Vista x64 the 162.18's from

the source mentioned at the top of my post.

I can confirm (and so does Vista) that the drivers are not beta.

They are digitally signed.

Date is June 29th, and version is 7.15.11.6218

No problems so far.
