    When trying to play Crusader Kings 2 I experience artifact problems (pink blur of colors, discoloration). This has also happened with BF3, but I gave up on trying to get that game to work months ago.

    Also, at the bottom right corner of my screen I get an overlapping text box that displays;
    This application is not rated by NVIDIA corp.
    Rating: Unknown.
    Press Alt+Ctrl+Insert to toggle this information.

    I tried installing the latest drivers from the Nvidia website, I tried the 3 latest ones and i'm still experiencing the same problem. What I did was uninstall my video driver, restart my computer so it would install the default one, then I'd install the latest one.

    Ever since I installed the newer driver I get the same problem with Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Skyrim, and Portal 2. These games worked fine with my older video driver.

    Suggestions? I'd really appreciate any help I can get!

    Asus G51J, Nvidia Geforce GTX 260M / Windows 7 64bit

    It sounds like it's trying to run in a 3D mode like "nVidia 3D Vision"..
