    I uninstalled my old driver and installled the 77.76 driver from laptopdrivers2go.com, moved the modified .inf file into the 77.76 nvidia driver folder, and then installed the driver. Now when i try and run Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay it displays a message saying "Chronicles of Riddick requires a driver that supports open gl 1.3" which is total bull**** becuase even the old driver supported open gl. 1.5. WTF is going on? Is the 77.76 driver to new for the chronicles of riddick so it cant recongize it? Please help! The new installed driver works fine for every game i own except chronicles of riddick. HELP!!

    if it is looking for a specific driver or entry (bad programing) it may need a patch like the other guy said, or just use the old driver for now

    Actually, that's a bug I encountered when I had a GeForce 6800 in my machine. It's got something to do with Nvidia drivers. There's a specific fix I found on a website that works perfectly for Riddick (my choice for best "sleeper" game of the year). I'm at work, right now, but will post the fix as soon as I get home.
