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.

If you really want to try the old ones:

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.

Good luck,
