BTW, how do you play animated GIFs in between songs. Do you use the same one on the Intermission screen, or have you found another way. My Vista laptop already uses so many resources, that I have stopped displaying one in-between, because it also causes Hoster's CPU to go up, so I found a nice "still" pic that everyone likes to see in-between songs.
I use it on the intermission screen also. I have many different ani-gifs that I use for different occasions like Happy Birthday, X-mas, ect., and quite a few for normal everyday usage. I have found that some of the more complicated ones will cause the picture frame rate to slow down when you expand the intermission screen to full size. I also have a bunch of stills that I occasionally display because they look so cool, I just wish they were animated. Right now I'm using one that I call "wormhole". It looks like you're traveling through it while the wormhole snakes up and down.

PS. NVidia cards have given some problems in the past. As far as your card, if it's working for you, I wouldn't worry about them not offering updates. Once I rolled back my driver and got it working, it stays like that. I will not update in case something else goes wrong.
