TSGL: More Vista SP1 Issues??

[Russell W. Coover]

Lee, 

You're probably fine with the nVidia drivers, but just in case you are
interested, if you right click on your desktop, click on Personalize and
then on Display Settings. You will find under Advanced Settings just exactly
what driver you are presently running. You can then go to http://nvidia.com
, to Support, and find out what the latest driver is for your video adapter.
If it is newer than what you presently have, you can download it and install
it. Just remember that under installation, the program will tell you that
the driver is not "signed". Just ignore that message and you'll be fine.

I think you're right and I plan to just let it be and not worry further 
about it unless I discover something missing or not working correctly.  
Everything seems A-OK with the desktop pc system to this point.  And I 
definitely will let SP1 age for awhile before I even consider installing 
it again.
Thanks for the advice.
