No errors? That's weird. Okay, I hope this isn't something you have also mentioned before: have you tried the 96.43.01 one that is supposed to be stable (.05 is in ~)? It probably won't make difference, what with the binary drivers being released by nVidia and all that.

I tried once, a year or so, maybe more, ago. Some applications did not play nice with it. And it was rather slow. So I stopped using it. Haven't tried recently.
