Does anyone know which of these ones it was?

Also how do i downgrade from my current driver version to an older one?

Actually, I had the same screen popup on install so I downloaded the very latest drivers for my ASUS notebook. This turned out to be Verde 285.62/ release date 10.24.2011 for Windows7, 64bit.
After loading this driver, I didn't get any more promting and the game seems to run OK but it's got some jerkiness looking through the Binocs (not all the time, just sometimes), but then again, I'm not sure if the game is still a bit buggy anyway. I'm used to having to mod the SH games up to get rid of just this kind of junk.
This lastest graphic "bugginess" I expect to work on a bit more before I say "that's good enough". I digress, I might try to roll back the drivers and see if that is the ticket as it seems to be for T77.
You can rollback your driver version from your computer Control Panel/Devices and click on your video card, one of the tabs on the folder should say "driver", hit that tab and one of the buttons says'Rollback Driver'. The other way is to simply go to the nvidia driver downloads page on the web.
Hope you get it sorted out. I'll try and see if my rollback works and I'll tell you if it indeed did.
Until then...Good Hunting :salute:
PS: The post below looks promising as well, and I will probably give that a go first!

Another mod for Lagging

Sober sent another mod for lagging and that jerkiness weirdness. Here; http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=2871

Also he mentions to NOT use JSGME to install it but to place it in the 'Main Game Folder'. Sober also left this adjustment to [config]?
Render Ahead Limit=2
FPSlimit=32
I'm going to try this out tonight as well and see if I can't get rid of some of this jerking and Lagging. It's not terrible but I think the lagging caused a CTD last night in the electric motor room when I went to talk to the crewman.
Hope this helps, Good Hunting
PS; And Sober! Thanks again for your help, I hope I got everything correct. :salute:
