You could just keep 344.11. Don't forgot to bug nV to fix their drivers.
Who's gaming so early in the morning? :p

Cocaine keeps him awake, hes a tough guy you know ;)

How do you know its a bug in nvidia's drivers and not ra2? If so, what should he say to nvidia? "Fix driver pls" wont help.

It worked fine for years and stopped working after nV driver update 344.48. RA2 didn't change...
Could still be a bug in RA2 but we're unlikely to be able to diagnose that ourselves.

Showtime, could you email the following to olaf@xwis.net?

3. Have you changed any setting in NVIDIA Control Panel 3d settings? What is the screen resolution and screen refresh rate? Are you running more than one display?
4. Is your graphics card's Power management mode set to Adaptive or Performance setting?
5. Kindly update me with the system information file:

1) Click on the "START" button on the bottom left hand corner of your screen. This will bring up the Start menu where your cursor will appear in the "Search Programs and Files" field.

2) In this field, type in "msinfo32" and then press ENTER on your keyboard

3) This will bring up the Microsoft System Information utility. With your mouse, left-click over the top menu bar and select "File" and then choose "Save".

4) Give the file any name you wish and save it to any directory on your hard drive as long as you can remember the location afterwards.

5) It will take about a minute or two for the file to be created. The default file extension for this newly created file is ".nfo".

6) Attach the *.nfo file to this support request so that we may review your system configuration.
