    Hey, I decided to start playing vegas 2 again hoping it would run smoother then it did at launch with all the patches etc and for once something has changed the game is running fairly smooth now. But now I am running into blu screen after 5 mins of play basically. Which could be a result of drivers not being too compatible with vegas 2. So my question should start going to back to the older version of drivers till I find one ? Or is there a better way to find out which drivers will be good for the game ? Or this problem has nothing to do with drivers?

    Current drivers from Laptopvideo2go / 180.80 -
    ----
    Right Now: I am going back to 180.70

    hmm.. I see basically what I found some drivers are great for some games but cause problems for others. I haven't found a driver in the 180 series that does my games at decent fps. The 180.70 is doing decent atm for vegas 2 .
