    This won't help you, but I've been getting the "Nvidia driver has stopped responding but has recovered" errors VERY frequently with Dox's 182.05. I'm using Win7 on a Sager NP5797, 9800m GTX.

    Ahh I just reloaded the OS to Win 7 32bit.

    I was having some other driver issues so this will due for now.

    What is the major advantage witht the 64bit anyhow?

    I did not seem to see any except stuff didn't work and BSOD that is.

    firstly, you get to use more than 3.5G ram

    And I've had no problems whatsoever.

    I also had no problems running Vista Ult x64

    nvidia's notebook drivers doesn't support win 7 ( 179.28 and 179.48).
    Instead use this:

    "NVIDIA drivers for Windows 7 Beta

    NVIDIA drivers for the Windows 7 Beta release can be downloaded directly from Microsoft’s Windows Update service.

    Instructions:

    1. After a fresh installation of the Windows 7 Beta, click on the Start button.
    2. Click Windows Update (it will be pinned to the top of the start menu). You can also type “Windows Update” into the start menu Search to locate Windows Update.
    3. Within Windows Update, locate and install the NVIDIA driver update (it will either be an important update or an optional update depending on your system)."
