That's good news, the "official" 44.03's on the Nvidia site still
have the problem, though I suppose anything over the 40.72's
probably don't help a GF3 ti200 much anyway.


Well I installed some DVD software (decrypters, codecs, etc.) and
suddenly got the macrovision problem when trying to view a DVD that
had always worked before (no TV-out connected). I checked on the
nVidia site and it said to make sure that I have the latest driver. I
had 42.71 (I think) and so I downloaded the latest from their site
(44.03) and installed it. Hey presto! No more macrovision problem.

I have a Gainward Ti-4800SE with VIVO.

It's probably different for different cards. The GF3 ti200 uses a Conextant
BT868 for TV out. The latest driver I can use without 3rd party intervention
is the 40.72's, and I've tried them all. It would be nice if Nvidia just let
us disable the TV-out in setup somewhere so it wouldn't be an issue.
