    Hi guys,

    I updated my Nvidia 8400M GS drivers last night on my XPS 1330 to 186.81 - from 176.44 which Dell still provide on the support website.

    Everything went on fine but I'm finding that when I first book up and go to 'Personalize' or other control panel options explorer crashes and restarts.

    This can happen quite a few times.

    I assume it's down to the driver but has anyone else seen this or are you running 186.81 without issue?

    I am on Vista x64.
