    Hi,
    just got Dead Space 2 three days ago and up until now I can't even play it. it's always freeze on in-game menu for a moment and start back again and freeze again repeatedly until I force quit the program. it shows "Nvida Memory Kernel 266.58 stop responding and successfully recovered" message

    it seems many people got this error but I've tried all the tweak/ fix I found on the net with no avail

    any suggestions would be great, thanks in advance :D

    =====================
    my spec:
    NP8760
    win7 pro 64bit
    i7 Q720 @ 1.60Ghz
    gtx 280m > driver 266.58
    memory 4 Gb

    I heard the game is very buggy. Don't think it's specific to the 280M :p

    It seems like that :p
    I just wanna know if any other 280m owner got the same problem like me, so far I know 1 person using 260m and have the same probs over in NVIDIA forum

    guess we have to wait for the patch, eh? (if EA have heart and listened) :p

    I have the same driver, but with a GTX 260M, and it plays DS2 with ease!
