    I had to reinstall NVidia drivers after I applied the latest Windows Updates for Win7 64-bit... :eek: checked the list and many of them are security updates. :confused:

    You will have to re-tune your colors and little settings through the NVidia Control Panel.

    Watch out for those "Optional" updates, that's where the driver updates from microsoft usually end up getting installed. I usually don't install most of the "Optional" updates.
