Nvidia Twin View Window Problem

[Mark]

When I attempt to shut down windows, I get a message that
a program is running and it is attempting to shut it
down. The message says nvidia twin view window. It fails
to shut down and I have to push the End Now button. This
had only recently begun to happen. Any ideas on the
problem? Thx, Mark

Your NVIDIA display drivers may be corrupt.
Download the latest version and install.

Driver Installation Hints:

1. "Download Accelerator" utilities should be disabled when downloading any drivers.
2. Do not run virus protection software in the background while installing the drivers.
This prevents the driver from configuring itself properly.
3. Before installing new drivers, make sure you uninstall all NVIDIA display drivers from
the Windows Control Panel. Browse to the Start Menu > Windows Control Panel >
Add/Remove Programs and search for "NVIDIA Windows Display Drivers" or
"NVIDIA Display Drivers" and select remove.

Notebook or laptop video adapter drivers should only be downloaded
from the support web site of the manufacturer of your notebook or laptop
and not directly from the NVIDIA web site.

should I download and install the nvidia driver from windows update? I am
presently using the drivers that came with the card. however, I occasionally
get the Nvidia Twin View Window Problem. (usually when running viz in WMP10.)

:

As a general rule don't get any drivers from windows update. Go to the
device manufacture's site if it's a retail product or the computer
vendor's site if OEM.
