    Hey guys. I installed the latest nVidia drivers on my m17xR1 with SLI 280s yesterday. All was fine at the time, but this morning I'm getting my Vista desktop at random brightnesses (although the cursor is usually full brightness).

    Please can anyone help - it's driving me crazy!

    Thanks,
    Ian
