Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2007 11:38 pmstay with the 169.09 or 169.13 for now if you are running SP2 or Acceleration
the 25's fixed the missing resolution issues for odd-ball monitor scales but there is no need to install them other than that and they do introduce a few other bugs. I would wait

Posted: Tue Dec 18, 2007 1:58 pmDo you know if it addresses the "FSX hangs" issue?
I just did a completely fresh install of FSX and Acceleration (uninstalled it, deleted all the remaining folder/files including user files, defragged my hdd, switched off the machine, went to bed, dreamed I married Kylie but that's another story, went to work a bit miffed that I'd had to wake up, came home, switched it on, installed it all over again) and it still freezes when I try to use the menus.
Can't believe no one on the beta testing team bumped into this problem, it's not like nVidia's skulking in the shadows!!!!

Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2007 4:37 pmHi Nick, yep tried that but eventually it'll still get you. At least in Windowed mode there's a fair chance of end tasking the hung program - in Full Screen you're all but dead in the water.
I'm going to hang on for the driver update and re-install FSAcc when I start seeing positive nVidia comments.
From the limitted use I've had with Acceleration I haven't really noticed anything startlingly worthwhile. Certainly if I'd tried before I'd buyed (!) I wouldn't have bothered keeping it.
All the best
Ian
