    169.09 from lv2go.com seems to be the most stable and best driver atm. Read the Faqs in the website for more info

    go here, providing that your running vista32

    1)download the zipped driver > extract it somewhere

    2)download the modded .inf > put this where you extracted the drivers > Yes, overwrite the old .inf

    3)run setup.exe

    Definitely another + for the 169.09 here. Works great for every game I've played and has never given a problem.
