My experience has always been that the latest drivers always make things
worse. Since 2005 about 5 computers down the line I have never upgraded
any nVidia or ATI drivers and have never had display problems.  Before
that, some kind chap, while installing a new HD for me "as a favour",
said, "while I'm here, I'll upgrade your video driver".  FS9 never ran on
that machine again.  "It would best to reformat the hard disk", I think
someone here (Frank F?) said, so I sold the machine as being the lesser
of two pains.  (The other one in the wallet).  

I am also sticking with XP as long as the coal seam lasts. No one ever
reports that FS doesn't run under Windows XP but runs like a dream in Win
7.

Now where's my tinderbox...
