OK, thanks. Reckon I'll go ahead and install it then, although it's only
about a month since the last one.

Re the version numbering, I still don't see why MS and NVidia use such
wildly different methods? According to that INF file line 9 the
DriverVer = 02/09/2012, 6.14.12.9573
So why do NVidia call it 295.73? Is the '6.14.1' part
meaningless/redundant?


Microsoft has nothing to do with Nvidia driver version numbers. Nvidia
controls both the internal number (ex: 6.14.12.9573), and the public release
number (ex: 295.7). You need to ask Nvidia how they come up with the
numbers.
