    Use 182.06 or 182.08; I haven't had Windows 7 sleep issues with either of these. Your Win 7 gaming will improve as well. Skip Dox with this OS.

    EDIT: I've had my closing the lid set to 'do nothing', and my power button set to induce sleep, but I just tested Sleep on lid close, and it woke up without a problem.

    Yeah, I used .08 for a while, and saw no difference from .06; I think it just added Quadro support.

    I'm sticking with .06 for now.

    I haven't found any perfect nvidia drivers for windows 7.... :/ Even ones that install fine (a lot don't, win7 just kicks the drivers out essentially after reboot ;)) give me glitches sometimes. I wouldn't be surprised if the sleep mode is completely due to driver issues (you are right clicking on the nvidia installer and setting it to install in Vista compatibility mode, right?)
