    On my sli 260m config, the new drivers have these 2 negative side effects:

    -cant disable sli on the nvidia control panel (option is greyed out)

    -Prince of persia game does not work (driver fails, black screens or kicks me back to vista).

    I guess ill have to live without physx for a while :(

    I didn't notice that the SLI option was greyed out. I have found that this driver is a little unstable, so you might want to switch back to the old one. Also, make sure and remove the driver before installing the old one back. Do not use Driver Sweeper. There is a good chance it will destroy the registry for the Chipset (being that it's also Nvidia).

    Thanks for the heads up. I used the nvidia driver utility (locatred in add/remove programs).

    Thanks for the help though :)
