    Hi Bros,

    Which version of Forceware driver plays well with Nvdia 8600M GT on Acer 5920G? Currently i am using NVDIA ForceWare X 180.70 and having a minor problem with it. I am not sure if the problem caused by Nvdia Driver or Adobe Flash player. The driver crash intermittently while i am watching videos on youtube. The driver will crash and the active youtube video will turn into green color. Please check the following screenshot.

    ps: when i upgrade newer version of forceware driver, i got the screen flickering problem. :(

    But did that solve your you tube trouble? Even with flickering...

    Because you can remove flickering by disabling Powermizer...

    Hope this will help...
