    I am using an M4600 with Proengineer WF5/Creo elements and the PTC website has the Certified Driver for the Nvidia Quardo 2000M as 266.96. I have 276.05. I get less crashes when I tell the Nvidia manager that my application is Proe, but there is a daily occurance of graphics failure where I have to use the task manager to exit Proe. I know from past lives that getting as close to the Certified config will improve the stability, but that was then and this is now. I have exausted my search with Nvidia/Dell/PTC to fine the 266.96 driver. Would one of you fine upstanding individuals please instruct me as to where this driver can be downloaded? I noticed a reference to this driver on Dell/Kase website, but didn't see where you could download it.

    TIA for any help.

    Another option would be to try the newest drivers available from NVidia's website. Sometimes they do fix bugs, even for professional software rather than just games... :rolleyes: I'm doing fine with 296.10, but I'm not using ProE (Solidworks/Inventor, here).
