    Well I was having problems with the installation a couple of weeks ago. I downloaded it like 100000000000 times and installed it like 900000000000000 times. Then for some reason I decided to read... buahahaha, at the end I used the 32bit version and it was working.

    But today I updated to the new version and can't run some stuff from nVidia.com so... I guess I'm having problems again. I have to try downloading it from the website and not using the update feature of the software.

    Technically that's a Win 7 64bit and Java issue in IE 32 bit which is the default IE. Google it and you'll find they recommend you manually install the 32bit ver to resolve the issue. I ran into the problem while trying to access my Cisco ASAs via ASDM which wouldn't load until I did the above.

    I use Chrome :). And yes, they recommend you install the 32bit version.
