Lorne,

If you can, try rolling back the driver.  Do this by going into system Manager
from your control panel.  Go to the hardware tab; click on device manager. You
should be in a treeview for your computer.  Down-arrow a few times to display
driver.  Open that and find your NVidia display driver.  Tab to the drivers
tab.  Look for the rollback option.

HTH,
STeve

No video intercept error at all. Jaws program was working perfectly, except
for the fact it wouldn't speak a word. It wasn't a sound problem as all other
sounds worked fine.
Thanks.

Hi, when you updated to the new driver did you get any sort of video intercept
error? If so did you reinstall the video intercept?
