Unwelcomed Crash Diving

Issue: I use an Nvidia 8800 GTX ultra w. Win Vista 32 and 174.93 pre-beta drivers (I've tried several). I still get the crashes, the blue screen and the nvdvsomething device driver has stopped responding blah, blah errors which tanks the usefulness of the card until you reboot.

Yes, I'm cruising all the Nvidia tech forums, etc. looking for answers (with a whole lot of other folks apparently). And no I don't care about "Microsoft is the evil empire", "Nvidia is responsible for much of the world's grief" or "DX10 and Nvidia drivers took away my life" comments.

I'm just curious if I was alone in seeing Silent Hunter 4 tank pretty consistently with Nvidia cards and drivers running Vista 32.

I actually dug out my Windows XP disc last night and am seriously considering living in the XP past again until this gets sorted out.
