Hi guys,

A few weeks ago, in one of the threads, I suggested someone to not upgrade to the very latest nVidia Forceware drivers as they're causing instabilities on my Windows XP system: after playing a game, opening Control Panel's Add or Remove Programs function or launching a DVD in Cyberlink PowerDVD causes a "BAD_POOL_CALLER" blue screen of death.

For this reason, I downgraded to Forceware 67.66 or something about two or three weeks ago but the crashes still occurred during the next one or two weeks. Then something came to my mind and I removed the Starforce drivers with their own utility. Guess what, no crashes for the last week!

So, if someone tells me that the Starforce drivers cause no system stability problems, all I can say "F*CK OFF!"

Joe
