    I am pretty sure that file is part of the GPU drivers. Perhaps try uninstalling the old driver completely, and then reinstalling your driver again.

    I recommend the 158.22/18/45 series drivers. I seem to get the best performance with those.

    I got the same problem with FEAR and my Nvidia 86000M GT card drive. "Pest", would you please tell me if and how you solved the problem?
