New nVidia thingie

Thought this thread might be of some interest to people here who prefer not to brave the BS BBS:
New nVidia driver.
I've been having problems with my GeForce 7800, so I'm hoping this turns out to be a permanent fix. Should I try the beta driver or wait for the final release? I'm still smarting from the slap of the Pets patches, so I'm a bit unsure whether or not to trust Eaxis on this yet. Although, it is nVidia not Eaxis that is handling the problem. Any thoughts or advice?
KatEnigma:
If you're having problems, what's the harm? It's not like you can't just reinstall your current drivers if it doesn't work.
SnootCB:
Well, it seems to be working so far. :D
I played for 3 hours last night. Normally the computer won't make it past 45-50 minutes with shaders on. And I can see fish now! Woo! Hopefully this is a permanent fix.

Well, the game works great but my Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI won't open. >:( It freezes while loading and makes that "doink" sound like there's an error happening somewhere, but when I open Windows Task Manager it still says "running", and it will sit frozen like that for at least 30 min (I lost patience at that point and closed it). I have added nothing to my computer except the nVidia beta driver since the last time I opened Paint Shop Pro. Should I contact nVidia or Corel about this, or wait it out and hope for the best? I love that my game doesn't crash, but if itsn't one thing it's another I guess. Any ideas?
Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to double-post.

I downloaded the beta drivers today, but haven't had a chance to play the game and test them out. I'll poke around and see if any of my other programs give me a problem.
In my experience, nvidia beta drivers are usually pretty safe to use. I used to use them all the time when playing EQ.
