Do other people have that problem, I have no clue but just because you don't have a problem on your end doesn't mean others don't.

I have no reason to defend or attack these companies or their drivers, I've been around this stuff long enough to know it all has bugs

i dunno how you installs your drivers .. but i let the windows thingy recognize new hardware and find it on the drivers disk .. no problem with nvidia .. nor ati ... how impossible is this :O

and btw when you update your drivers its because you need it to ... for smoother performance in games and application that you use .. and the readme's from ati or nvidia usually provide the change log in them so you can clearly see if you need to apply those drivers or not ... and i do it like that ..and no problem relating to drivers ....
